TOPICAL ISSUES OF ENSURING COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY AND COUNTERING TERRORIST CRIME IN AIR TRANSPORT FACILITIES

Abstract

Ensuring comprehensive security and countering terrorism-related crimes at air transport facilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the key priorities of the state policy in the field of transport safety. With the growing threat of terrorism and increasing passenger traffic, this issue becomes more urgent, requiring the implementation of modern technologies and effective coordination among all stakeholders in the aviation sector. The aim of this research is to analyze existing approaches to aviation security, identify vulnerabilities in the counter-terrorism system, and develop recommendations for improving organizational and technical measures. The study reviews national legislation, international standards, and practical experience in airport security systems in Kazakhstan. The results of the analysis show that modern airports apply an integrated protection system, including perimeter and premises security alarms, video surveillance, access control, and fire alarm systems. However, the study also reveals the need to enhance the integration of these systems and improve staff training. In conclusion, effective aviation security requires a systematic approach, continuous threat monitoring, the application of innovative technologies, and close cooperation between government agencies and aviation enterprises.
