Question map
Which of the following agencies can carry out search of the aircraft during specific bomb threat call ?
Explanation
When a specific bomb threat call is received, the aircraft is moved to an isolation bay for a thorough security check as per the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) laid down by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). The search operation is a coordinated effort involving multiple specialized agencies:
- Airlines Security & Engineers: They provide technical assistance, opening panels and compartments that require specialized knowledge of the aircraft's structure.
- Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS): These are the primary experts trained to identify, handle, and neutralize explosive devices.
- Dog Squad: Specially trained sniffer dogs are utilized for their olfactory capabilities to detect explosive vapors that might be hidden in recessed areas.
While the Aviation Security Group (ASG/CISF) provides the security cordon and the DGCA acts as the regulator, the actual physical search of the aircraft is conducted by the technical and detection teams listed in option C.
