The training aimed to promote interagency cooperation as a means to enhancing safety, facilitating the transport of persons and goods and enforcing border controls.
IOM and DNPI brought together staff involved throughout the entire airport operation to improve standard operating procedures and define roles and responsibilities as guided by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
