140: Person who holds aviation document for aviation security service must designate aviation security officers

You could also call this:

"Choose staff to keep airports safe if you have a security document"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you have a special document for keeping people safe at airports, you must choose some of your employees to be aviation security officers. You give these officers the power to keep people safe at the airport where they work. They can do all the things that aviation security officers are allowed to do under this law.

When you choose these officers, they get to work at the specific airport or navigation installation where they are employed. They have all the powers of an aviation security officer at that place. You can see how this rule is similar to an old rule from the 1990 law.
