Eastar Jet and Police Special Forces Conduct Joint Aircraft Terror Response Training

Eastar Jet announced on July 16 that it had conducted a joint training exercise to strengthen aircraft terror response capabilities together with the police special forces unit.

On July 15, Eastar Jet held an anti-terror training session at Incheon International Airport using one of its own parked aircraft. The exercise involved around 40 participants, including Eastar Jet pilots, cabin crew members, and police special forces officers.

This training simulated an aircraft hijacking scenario. To enhance realism, an actual aircraft and police tactical equipment were used, creating an environment as close as possible to real-world conditions.

Before the exercise, flight and special forces crew members thoroughly inspected the aircraft’s internal structure—including the cockpit, aircraft doors, and emergency exits—and took time to review the Aviation Security Act.

Participants then carried out step-by-step terror response procedures: entering the aircraft, subduing the terrorist, removing explosives, and extinguishing fires. The exercise concluded with hands-on practice in emergency treatment for the injured and post-incident follow-up measures.

Based on the results of this training, Eastar Jet plans to review and supplement its anti-terror manual and further strengthen its emergency response systems.

An Eastar Jet official stated, "Aviation safety starts with thorough preparation and repeated training," adding, "We will continue to conduct simulated exercises based on various scenarios to ensure that we can respond quickly and systematically, even in abnormal situations, thereby further enhancing our safety capabilities."
