항공보안요원의 법제적 지위와 교육훈련

Abstract

Lately, Korean Air's so-called “Nuts rage” Incident has been reported one after another in the media and ripples spreading this fall. This incident happened on a KE086 flight bound for Incheon International Airport from New York’s JFK International Airport on Dec. 5, 2014. This flight went to the run-way in order to take off. But suddenly it returned to the boarding gate, which was called ‘ramp return’. Through the above incident, interest in aviation security surged. It is an prime example to evaluate the national aviation security system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to research the legal status and training of in-flight security personnel from the 148 subjects, who are in-flight crews. The results of this study say : First, the adequacy of the legal status of in-flight security personnel is ‘very appropriate’ (7.4%), it is ‘appropriate’ (22.9%), ‘usually’ (27.0%), ‘inappropriate’ (39.0%), it is ‘very inappropriate’ (3.3%). The total of ‘inappropriate’ and ‘very inappropriate’ accounted for a high proportion of 42.3%. Second, the training status of the in-flight security personnel is ‘very complete’ (2%), it is ‘complete’ (15.5%), ‘so-so’ (27%), ‘lacking’(41.8%), ‘very lacking’ (13.5%). The total of ‘lacking’ and ‘very lacking’ accounted for a high proportion of 55.3%. It points out the problem of training of the in-flight security personnel. Taking together these research results, the awareness of the legal status and training of in-flight security personnel is high in negative side. And we should rethink the influence of the incidents connected to the airline terror during the cursory operation of the in-flight security personnel to meet the conditions of the visa agreement with the United States in 2008. And then we should prepare for the rapidly increasing airline terror through the adoption of the in-flight security personnel system in the developed countries.
