In a first, a team of European civil aviation authorities will visit Pakistan next week to train Pakistan's civil aviation security regulators.
According to a spokesperson of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the team comprising two members will provide training to the regulators on the Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) and Explosive Detection Dog (EDD) as per European standards.
These trainings will be held at Islamabad International Airport.
The ETD training involves learning how to operate explosive trace detection equipment used in airports and security zones. The EDD training refers to the training of canines (dogs) and their handlers to detect explosives using scent.
In civil aviation, the ETD and the EDD training are crucial parts of aviation security protocols to prevent the transportation of explosives through air travel.
