Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Explanation

In aviation security, "Known Cargo" refers to consignments that have been subjected to appropriate security controls and are protected from unauthorized interference. According to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) in India and ICAO Annex 17, cargo is classified as "Known" in the following scenarios:

  • Statement 1: Consignments accepted from a Regulated Agent (RA) who has already applied the prescribed security measures and maintained the secure supply chain.
  • Statement 2: Consignments received directly from a Known Consignor (KC) who has applied security controls at the source (origin) and ensured the cargo is protected from tampering.
  • Statement 3: Unknown Cargo (cargo from an unknown source) that has been subjected to appropriate security controls, such as X-ray screening or physical search, and is thereafter protected from unlawful interference.

Once cargo is designated as "Known," it is eligible for carriage on commercial aircraft. Therefore, all three statements are correct.
