In an air transport, Southwest Airlines initially launched a completely new aircraft equipped with an additional security barrier between the cabin and the cabin to prevent insult.
The Secondary Dam is installed on the Boeing 737 Max 8, which recently delivered its open flight last Friday from Phoenix to Denver.
When pilots rest for bathroom visits and freshness, while the pilot’s cab is open, the dam will be accumulated by flight guests.
Currently drinking trucks are used as obstacles, and the crew is physically blocking the corridors.
All US Airlines are required by FAA to install secondary physical barriers to new aircraft, with Southwest doing the first thing.
These are the obstacles to the latest security measures introduced after 9/11, including the tougher pilot doors to be locked. Armed aerial marshal; Screening the luggage reviewed; And machines that detect explosives.
Southwest revealed that by the end of the year, the number of its fleet aircraft will be with secondary barriers No. 26.
Airlines by August 2026 should introduce additional barriers to new aircraft, but Southwest decided to “be the first”.
The statement explained in a statement: “For the southwest, it was the right decision. We have a strong safety management system that takes a preventive approach when increasing safety wherever possible.
“We were recently the first airline to need customers to expose lithium battery chargers while they were in use. We also performed a preventive step for our cabin service button at 18,000 feet to prevent turbulence injuries.”
Implementation of obstacles is strongly supported by the International Association of Airlines, which says: “Secondary flight deck barriers are just one of the most important Alpa security and security measures that support it.
“The flight deck is more vulnerable when the door of the pilot’s cabin is open during flight. These light barriers can accumulate a protected layer in those moments and help prevent possible violations.”
“This is not just politics, but also about protecting the flight deck, crew and everyone on the board,” he said.
However, some travelers have questioned the logic of putting the dam in front of an emergency exit, while another has left his Instagram: “Just install one washing door. No one knows how to open it anyway.”
