A hijacked plane out of Columbia with AK47s and hand grenades aboard was the scenario faced by an interdepartmentalteam during a mock emergency exercise on Tuesday, 11 December.
Representatives from over 20 agencies andgovernment departments came together during the table-top drillto discuss how they would respond in this type of emergency situation.Head of Civil Aviation Authority Air Traffic Services Jeremy Jacksondirected the proceedings, while key personnel from the emergencyservices, airlines, Civil Aviation, Met.
