Australia-Indonesia Aviation Security Risk Management Project

Aviation Security Risk Management Training in Medan

During 25 October – 1 November, Infrastructure’s Jakarta Post delivered two Aviation Security Risk Management workshops at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta and Kuala Namu International Airport, Medan.  The workshops were the first of a number of national level capacity building activities to be delivered under the Australia-Indonesia Transport Security Cooperation Program which is funded through the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice 2 (AIPJ2).

The objective of the Indonesian Aviation Security Risk Management project is to assist Indonesia’s regulatory development and operational implementation of a nationally-consistent approach to airport risk assessments.  Approximately 60 security officers from Jakarta and Medan airports received classroom and on-the-job training on best practice approaches to conducting airport security risk assessments.  The workshops also provided an opportunity to socialise and implement a new Aviation Security Risk Management Framework, Security Risk Context Statement and Risk Assessment Tools. 

As a result, Indonesia’s Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has developed a new national regulation incorporating the new risk management methodology and requiring all Indonesian airports to implement risk assessment tools developed under the project.  

“Partnering with Australia on the Aviation Security Risk Management project has been very beneficial for DGCA.  As a result of this project we have introduced a new Director-General Decree (KP238-2017) which outlines the regulatory framework for aviation security risk management in Indonesia and the risk assessment tools designed during the project will be implemented at all of our international airports.” - Zainul Arifin, Deputy-Director Avsec - Directorate-General of Civil Aviation.   

The next phase of the project involves development of a national risk register for DGCA to record the details of all risks that might pose a significant risk to aviation operations, assets, people and reputation identified through the security risk assessment process at Indonesian airports.  

“The outcomes of this project so far represent a significant achievement for the Australia-Indonesia Transport Security Cooperation Program, highlighting the strong cooperation between Australian and Indonesian aviation authorities on enhancing regional transport security outcomes.” – Adam Morton, First Secretary (Transport) Jakarta (Project Manager).
