Theresa May will launch plans for a global crackdown on the terrorist threat to airlines this week. At the UN summit in New York, the Prime Minister will propose the world’s first United Nations Security Council resolution on aviation security. Her plan includes committing countries to improve baggage checks at airports, step up passenger screening, share details of passengers, and protect airport terminals. Downing Street said the resolution would push rich countries to develop new techniques to detect explosives, and to help poorer countries improve their airport security, with better technology and tighter procedures. Speaking before travelling to New York for her first UN general assembly meeting, Mrs May said she wanted Britain to lead the world in stepping up aviation security in the wake of recent attacks in Brussels, Istanbul and Egypt. “In the face of an increasing terrorist threat, it is vital that we work with other countries to keep our people safe,” she said.
