Automated background screening for aviation & air transport

Air-side access to secure airport areas requires special clearance and EU-compliant background checks under EASA regulation. This includes identity verification, CV review, and criminal record checks. The same requirements apply to Known Customers, Regulated Agents, Known Suppliers, and Known Charters.

Challenges in the aviation and air cargo industry

The airline and air cargo industry faces significant challenges in security and background checks. Securing passengers and cargo against potential threats requires comprehensive and accurate background checks on employees, suppliers and partners. Defective or ineffective background check processes can lead to serious security risks, including insider threats and unauthorized access to critical areas and resources.

At the same time, the industry must comply with strict international and national security regulations that are constantly evolving to meet emerging threats. This requires significant resources and expertise to ensure that all procedures are up to date and in accordance with applicable law.

We have had a very good experience with the implementation of P-Secure at Roskilde Airport. The solution is intuitive to use and we have already experienced a noticeable reduction in the time we spend on background checks. This allows us to focus more on the core tasks without compromising safety.

Security for partners in aviation and air cargo

Regulated agents

Regulated Agents are companies that handle, transport or store air cargo and mail on behalf of airlines and carriers. They play a vital role in ensuring cargo is safe before it reaches the airport or plane.

Regulation

Regulated Agents are subject to the Swedish Transport Agency's legislation, which requires them to meet strict safety requirements. This includes comprehensive checks on personnel, implementation of security procedures and regular audits to ensure that all cargo is treated in accordance with international safety standards.

Known customers/charters

The Known Customer/Charterer designation includes companies that regularly ship cargo by air and have obtained a special clearance allowing them to ship cargo without additional security screening.

Types of businesses include
  • Companies that produce goods and ship these as air freight.
  • Companies that distribute aircraft spare parts and ship these as air cargo.
  • Museums that ship art objects as air freight

A unified security platform for aviation and air-side operations

The impact

As EU aviation regulations tightened, a regional airport group needed to modernize its background check process for employees, contractors, and air-side partners. Manual workflows caused delays, limited oversight, and made audit preparation time-consuming.

Security infrastructure for the future of aviation

The opportunity

Today’s aviation operators must balance strict regulatory requirements with operational efficiency and passenger trust. As EU security standards tighten and workforce mobility increases, airports and air-side partners need smarter, continuous background screening to reduce risk without slowing operations.

Strengthen air-side access control

Implement automated, EU-compliant background checks that reduce onboarding time while ensuring full regulatory alignment for employees, contractors, and third-party partners.

Maintain continuous compliance

Move beyond one-time clearance with ongoing monitoring, automated re-screening, and audit-ready documentation that keeps your organisation aligned with EASA and national aviation requirements.
