Emergency exercise at Corfu Airport
CORFU. The scenario involved an aircraft accident at the airport.
The purpose of conducting the large-scale exercise was the evaluation and potential improvement of the operational response level to such an event. Primarily, however, it involved the analysis of the progression of cooperation and inter-operability among the involved entities in dealing with such a crisis.
After the successful completion of the exercise, Panayiotis Spyratos, Chief Operations Officer of Fraport Greece, stated, "The successful implementation of this specific emergency exercise at Corfu Airport through the collaboration of Fraport Greece and other involved entities is of critical importance for the safety of airports and flights. Fraport Greece, committed to providing a high level of security to passengers and the stakeholders in the aviation chain, has a broader strategic plan, of which this exercise is a part. This plan is implemented on a permanent basis at the 14 regional airports managed and operated by the company, including, among other things, infrastructure renewal, alignment of processes and operations with the highest European and international standards, as well as the training of its personnel, aiming to maintain and enhance the already high level of safety across the 14 regional airports."
