The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP)-Davao in collaboration with the Task Force Davao, the Public Safety and Security Command Center, and other agencies in the security sector has further tightened security measures at the Francisco Bangoy International Airport following the suicide bombing in Sulu.
Airport Manager Rex Obcena said CAAP does not take chances in view of the increasing number of passengers, including domestic and foreign tourists, flying in and out of the Davao airport.
Obcena said the Sulu suicide bombing prompted CAAP to level up airport security.
Obcena stressed that although CAAP is the primary agency in securing the terminal building, security forces are detailed to ensure that no terror attack or unfortunate incidents could take place anywhere in its periphery.
âRight now we are enhancing our security measures, especially in the initial vehicle screening area,â he said.
It may be recalled that Mayor Inday Sara Duterte earlier said she wants that security measures in the airport would be similar to what is implemented in Singapore airport. CIO
