Namibia Airports Company Limited has achieved a major milestone in strengthening Namibia’s aviation security with the launch of its inaugural Basic Aviation Security Training Course. This follows NAC’s certification as an Aviation Security Training Organisation (ASTO) on 19 May 2026, authorising the company to deliver internationally recognised aviation security programmes locally.
The training, which ran from 29 June to 14 July 2026 in Windhoek, brought together 50 participants, including 29 officers from the Namibian Police Force’s Border and Infrastructure Protection Directorate and 21 from NAC. The programme equips participants with essential skills to safeguard Namibia’s airports, passengers, aircraft, and aviation infrastructure.
Course topics include people and vehicles screening; recognition of dangerous and other restricted articles; building search procedures; patrolling and guarding; and protection of aircraft. The course is the foundational course that leads to Airport Security X-ray Interpretation and Certification.
