National Airports Corporation presented to a police composite team two pigs together with K10, 000 cash last month for the festive period security operations at Jacksons Airport in Port Moresby.
NAC Managing Director Rex Kiponge said festive operation is very important for NAC as they see increased movement of passengers and different types of activities happening and police have been effective in helping us keep Jackson airport secure and safe for the travelling public.
The police composite team comprised of officers from Dog Unit, Airport Police, Six Mile Police, and others and were engaged by NAC for three months.
Kiponge said in doing this, he wants to strengthen and build its relationship with the Royal PNG Constabulary while also supporting them with incentives for their operations.
Currently, NAC is using the RPNGC Bomana Police Training College to train its new aviation recruits and is looking at police engagement in upcoming events including the national general elections.
Meanwhile, Eddy Aimondi, team leader of airport police operations said police engagement during the festive period has provided new perspective into policing at the airports and said he is thankful for the opportunity and looks forward to providing similar support in future.
