Security Measures for passengers

 

The Airport is Concerned with Your Security

 

 

The Security Services

As provided by law, from 1 June 2000 security services must be carried out directly by airport management companies. Pisa Airport has been among the first to fulfil this requirement with its own personnel. Security personnel specialized at the Italian Airport School. The security services of Pisa Airport have obtained the ISO 9001:200 certification thanks to their high level of reliability. In October 2001 the US Federal Aviation Administration stated that Pisa’s Galileo Galilei Airport is one of the four Italian airports that fully comply with FAA security requirements.

Pisa International Airport: now more secure than ever

To meet the present international crisis, Pisa Airport has promptly implemented the new stricter measures laid down by the Interdepartmental Security Committee in the “New National Security Programme”.

Hand luggage: new European Union Security rules at Airports

To protect you against the new threat of liquid explosives, the European Union (EU) has adopted new security rules that restrict the amount of liquids that you can take through security checkpoints. They apply to all passengers departing from airports in the EU whatever their destination. 

This means that, at security checkpoints, you and your hand luggage must be checked for liquids in addition to other prohibited articles. However, the new rules do not limit the liquids that you can buy at shops located beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on board an aircraft operated by an EU airline. 
The new rules apply from Monday, 6 November 2006 at all airports in the EU and in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland until further notice.      

 

While packing

You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquids in your hand luggage. These liquids must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. You must pack these containers in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of not more than one litre capacity per passenger (see photo below).  

Liquids include:

  • water and other drinks, soups, syrups
  • creams, lotions and oils
  • perfumes
  • sprays
  • gels, including hair and shower gels
  • contents of pressurised containers, including shaving foam other foams and deodorants
  • pastes, including toothpaste
  • liquid-solid mixtures
  • mascara
  • any other item of similar consistency 


At the airport
To help screeners detect liquids, you must:

  • present all liquids carried to the screeners at security checkpoints for examination;
  •  take off your jacket and/or coat. They will be screened separately whilst you are screened;
  • remove laptop computers and other large electrical devices from your hand luggage.

They will be screened separately whilst you are screened. 

If you have any doubts, please ask your airline or travel agent in advance of travel.

Please cooperate with airport security and airline staff.
