NATA: 'Don't Apply TSA Boilerplate Security Standards To Smaller On-Demand A/C

NATA has voiced concern with recent TSA directives regarding the security of all-cargo operations using smaller on-demand aircraft.

"Issuing directives absent a clear understanding of how the industry functions proves to be a great disservice to the carriers and public," stated NATA president James K. Coyne.

"Unfortunately, the TSA is reluctant to conduct industry outreach to determine how security objectives can be best implemented within this crucial transportation segment."

Part 135 on-demand cargo operations frequently operate to and from remote general aviation airports.  Additionally, the industry supports key economic activities such as transportation of checks for bank clearing, movement of essential assembly-line parts and even the carriage of human organs for transplant.

"The association has on numerous occasions briefed the TSA on the unique aspects of Part 135 air cargo, yet we continue to see measures clearly directed at large multi-hub carriers being imposed upon our industry," added Coyne.

NATA encourages the TSA, whenever possible, to initiate contact with industry stakeholders in advance of new mandates to identify industry-specific problems and to develop solutions appropriate to the risk exposure as well as the operator and airport capabilities. 

"The cargo industry is highly diversified and one-size-fits-all standards will impede the successful implementation of any security objectives," concluded Coyne.
