Safety work
Safety work at the airport focuses on technical/operational aviation safety measured aimed at preventing the occurrence of incidents involving unsafe take-offs, landings or aircraft taxiing.
Security
Security is a combination of measures based on human and material resources, aimed at protecting civil aviation from illegal actions. The purpose of security operations is to prevent criminal attacks against civil aviation, such as violence, sabotage and hijacking or threats or preparations for such acts.
Arlanda never comments on aviation security. The Swedish Civil Aviation Authority determines the security rules and security levels for Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. These rules are based on international regulations. The Swedish National Police Board and its Security Service conduct threat assessments.
