Airfield Security
Ballum Security has the privilege of providing security systems for active airfields. Airfield security is not only important for the safety and security of the property on-site, such as aircraft, fuel, vehicles, tools etc. but also for keeping an eye out for other illegal activities.
“Small Town” airfields can be the target for human and drug trafficking due to the reduced security and checks. They make for an easy way out of the country with little to no questions asked.
The UK government has provided a list of potentially suspicious activity that you should consider reporting. This list includes:
Planes landing in unusual places or at unusual times
Packages being dropped from low-flying aircraft or suspicious deliveries
Someone taking an unusual interest in airport security
Someone where they shouldn’t be
Seeing someone flying a drone close to an airfield or airport
An aircraft that has been unusually modified
A person being evasive about passengers, flights or routes
A person ignoring aviation regulations or filing misleading or false general aviation reports or flight plans
Items being handled suspiciously or concealing cargo

We can work with closely with you to reduce the risk of these activities taking place but also provide peace of mind for those renting, flying, visiting and staying.
We’ve created a specific page just for hangars, but feel free to contact us to see how we can help your airfield.
