International Air and Sea Passengers

Abstract

In this subject students examine passenger operations at airports, seaports, and land border crossings. Students will gain the technical knowledge and skills to apply relevant passenger control techniques in various operational environments, identify risk factors and solve problems associated with passenger processing.
