In addition to reflecting upon 2024, the report also looks ahead at the issues, events and threats that are on the horizon as we move into 2025. The report aims to be factual, fair, informative but also provocative to provide a sound base to aviation security debates, initiatives, capacity development and mitigation strategies.

The current approach to aviation security is heavily constrained by legacy thinking. In the absence of emergency drivers, changes are slow and built upon existing legislation, past threats and events. With this report, we aim to drive innovative modelling and address new threats, threat actors and threat vectors.

Today's advanced screening technologies, the rise in artificial intelligence, open architecture and an improved understanding of threats will help envision a more efficient, secure and effective aviation system where security regulations enable an improved passenger experience.
