International Civil Aviation Organization or ICAO and the European Union Aviation Security Mission in South Sudan trained 19 government officials on aviation security management.
The training that started on Monday and concludes today was part of the EU’s support to South Sudan to improve aviation security at Juba International Airport.
The aim of the five-day training was to explain the need for a crisis management plan to enable participants respond to major security emergencies at airports.
ICAO Aviation Security in East and Southern African Regional Officer Justus Nyunja Kabaka said after the training participants will be able to develop a crisis management plan in line with the South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority Act 2012.
He said they assist nationals to improve security at Juba International Airport to internationally accepted standards, increase flow of people, goods and boost trade.
