Major aviation security crackdown on the way
Airline passengers in Australia will be required to produce photo identification before boarding domestic flights, reports The Age.
The move is part of an extensive overhaul of airport and maritime security following an investigation by a government committee.
The Age believes the proposed measures are included in a report to be released on the failure of existing security measures to combat organised crime in the aviation and maritime sectors
Qantas is believed to have argued against the mandatory use of photo ID, claiming elderly people, infants and people without a driver’s licence might not be able to meet requirements.
However, the committee is believed to have rejected Qantas’s view and suggests those unable to provide photo ID produce a signed statutory declaration confirming their identity before boarding.
