This fact sheet explains how the EU protects civil aviation from terrorism and unlawful interference. It describes the common security standards that apply to all EU airports, airlines and operators – including rules on passenger and cargo screening, cybersecurity and data protection.
These rules are regularly updated to reflect evolving risks, and Member States, the Commission and Parliament all play a role in shaping, enforcing and scrutinising them. Member States retain the right to apply more stringent measures. •
