국내 항공승무원의 보안인식과 항공보안요원의 위기대응능력 조사

Abstract

Until now, cases of domestic aviation security failures in Korea are Changlanghohijacking(1958), KAL YS-11 kidnapping(1969), kidnapping of KAL F-27(1971), theattempted B727(1985), the midair explosion of KAL KE858(1987), the attemptedkidnapping of KAL B747(1988), the attempted hijacking of KAL 388(1993), et cetera. So,after the aircraft hijacking to North Korea in 1969, our Korean government allowedaviation security personnel to carry the mobile weapon, along with a plain-clothespoliceman. Since 1970, it has made the private police(rent-a-cop) carry out security dutyas the aviation security personnel. The system of in-flight security officers on board within the aircraft has beenintroduced since 2008. However, one of flight attendants is designated as in-flightsecurity personnel. And then it is questionable whether there are any effective role andefficiency within the aircraft. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to show how the current domestic commercialflight attendants are conscious of the aviation security. The result of it shows that ‘verysafe’ is 4.7%, ‘safe’ is 23.6%, ‘so-so’ is 56.7%, ‘unsafe’ is 25.6%, and ‘very unsafe’ is 2.7%. ‘So-so’ opinion has taken the highest percentage. And the research on crisis managementcapacity of the in-flight crews shows that ‘very high’ is 13.5%, ‘high’ is 29%, ‘so-so’ is43%, ‘lacking’ is 19.5%, and ‘very lacking’ is 2.7%. ‘So-so’ opinion has taken the highestpercentage, too. Taking together these research results, we know that indifference and insensitivitytoward aviation security is very high. If there is the accident related to the aviationsecurity, it is connected with great tragedy. Currently, considering the rapid increase ofair transportation and the provocation of North Korea, we should rethink the confrontation system of the aviation security.
