Security Check

The authorities guarantee the safety of passengers during air travel by strict ground security measures. All of these measures are restrictive and can affect the health status of both healthy and ill travelers. Patients who are in critical condition or confined to a stretcher and have to be repatriated by stretcher on a regular flight, must pass the airport security check as well. But the developers of security system should take into account the medical safety of patients during the procedure. The relevant medical principles are painfully missing not only in Hungary, but unfortunately also at most international airports. On the basis of principles reviewed in the present publication, an unambiguous, professionally reconciled regulation is necessary that would serve as a guideline for airport management and authorities, as well as for the involved medical personnel. Although setting principles into practice requires a different solution at each airport, yet, passenger safety and patient safety have to be harmonized as soon as possible. Orv.

Structured Questionnaire

Purpose: The study examined the effect of airport marketing attributes on word of mouth communication at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. Design/Methodology: The descriptive survey research had a dataset of 150 domestic passengers found at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri during the study period in November, 2019. A well structured questionnaire containing 14 items in addition to 4 demographic items was used to elicit data from the respondents. With the help of SPSS, the data gathered was utilised to validate the model developed for the study empirically through statistical tests. Findings: The inferential statistical analysis revealed that airport terminal facilities and airport security and safety had significant effect on passengers’ word of mouth communication. Originality: The recognition of airport terminal facilities and airport security and safety as marketing attributes having effect on passengers’ behavioural intentions constitute a novel contribution in the context of Nigerian tourism industry. Practical Implications: The provision of airport facilities, safety and security measures which are part of the total tourism product could overwhelm governmental budgetary allocations. The appropriate level of government could seek and establish Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement with suitable local and international venture partners with a view to building and maintaining competitive airport infrastructure and security apparatus with the aim of enhancing air passengers’ satisfaction which is capable of promoting passengers’ word of mouth communication.

The tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001 changed airline security forever. Post 9/11, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security vast power over passangers. This article seeks to examine whether the new airline security procedures are overly invasive, legal, or even effective. If the current system is ineffective or unconstitutional, an alternative must be sought. The Supreme Court has held that searches are required to be no more extensive or invasive than needed to protect security. This article posits that if new airline security measures are not conducted in a manner that respects the privacy and constitutional rights of passangers, they must be replaced with an alternative, such as beavioral profiling. In modern society, it is paramount that we heed the warning of Benjamin Franklin, "those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
