An unattended aircraft on a foreign ramp is an exposure — to interference, to unauthorised access, and to the compliance consequences of both. Aileron Air arranges aircraft guarding and passenger security coordination for operators whose risk assessment calls for it.
What We Arrange
Aircraft guarding
Licensed guards posted at the aircraft for the duration of the stay, with access logging, shift handover and written reporting. Standard practice for overnight stops, extended parking and any movement with a heightened risk profile.
Ramp access control
Controlling and recording who approaches the aircraft, coordinated with airport security, BCAS requirements and the handling agent.
Secure crew and passenger transport
Vetted drivers, route planning, escort vehicles and coordination with the passenger’s own security detail.
Executive protection coordination
Close protection arranged through licensed providers and coordinated with airport authorities, and for diplomatic movements with the relevant embassy or defence attaché office.
Security for diplomatic and government movements
Protocol-compliant arrangements for head-of-state, ministerial and military flights, coordinated with the authorities holding jurisdiction over the movement.
When Operators Use Aircraft Security
Overnight and extended parking away from base. Diplomatic, military and head-of-state flights. High-net-worth and public-figure passengers. Aircraft carrying sensitive cargo. Airports where the operator’s own risk assessment identifies a gap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide security personnel directly? We arrange and coordinate security through licensed providers and supervise the arrangement on your behalf. Personnel are appropriately licensed for the jurisdiction, and we will tell you who is providing them.
Is aircraft guarding necessary in India? Airport security covers the airfield perimeter and general access rather than your individual aircraft. Whether dedicated guarding is warranted depends on your risk assessment, the airport, the duration of the stay and what is on board. Many operators arrange it as standard for overnight stops. We will give you an honest view for the specific station rather than selling you something you do not need.
Can you coordinate with our own security team? Yes, and this is common for diplomatic and high-profile movements. We handle local coordination, access and authority liaison while your team retains control of protection.
How much notice do you need? As much as possible, particularly where airport clearances are required for personnel or vehicles. Short-notice arrangements are often possible — call the ops desk.
Can you arrange security for a head-of-state visit? Yes, coordinated with the relevant Indian authorities and the embassy or protocol office concerned. Engage us early, since diplomatic clearances take 7–10 working days.
