Safety and Security
Our primary goal is to ensure the safety of all visitors. Accordingly and per Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 102-74, all bags and hand-carried items are subject to search and inspection prior to entry onto the flight line.
Additionally, all visitors are required to pass through security check-point. Our security forces are in place to ensure the safety of all visitors, so your cooperation with this process is required. Failure to comply with this inspection will result in denial of access to the flight line.
