About this crime

Crimes at airports, or those related to aviation, don't just harm travellers. They are a threat to Australia's security as a whole.

Our Aviation Operations team prevents and responds to crimes at airports, including:

  • antisocial and dangerous behaviour
  • carrying dangerous goods, including weapons, drugs, and banned chemicals
  • cyberattacks, threats and hoaxes against airports or aircraft
  • other threats to aviation or to the safety of the travelling public.

These can also include:

I'm on base at Brisbane Airport. I have 2 dogs. One is a cash and drug dog. Another is a firearms and explosives dog.
