Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA) conducted a focused emergency training exercise in collaboration with the Aruba Police Force (KPA) at Aeropuerto Internacional Reina Beatrix this evening.
This training was organized in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Aruba’s local aviation legislation (AUA-AGA), which delineates methods for evaluating an airport emergency plan, including a partial exercise.
The purpose of the training was to evaluate KPA’s response time in an emergency scenario. AAA assessed the airport’s emergency notification system, the Crisis Team’s response time, the setup of the Crisis Team, Emergency Response Team assistance, and Security response to provide access, egress, and assistance to emergency services. AAA uses the results of these exercises to revise and update the airport’s emergency manuals.
AAA extends its gratitude to KPA for this training opportunity and looks forward to continued collaboration. AAA is proud of its team of volunteers who acted as victims in this training and all other colleagues and partners who assisted in making this training a success.
