SECURITY 108 – the legislation that demands a full screening of all airfreight export cargo – is a step nearer finalisation, according to Bob Garbett, president of the Business Aviation Association of Southern Africa (Baasa). After a meeting last week of the Civil Aviation Regulations Committee (CARcom) task force – which has been working on the technical standards relating to the implementation of Security 108 – it was decided that a special meeting be diarised for May 21. “Hopefully,” said Garbett, “the draft regulations will be finalised at this meeting, and released for the statutory 30-days of public comment. After this, it will be published in the Government Gazette.”
