Police Scotland is promoting safe travel to airport passengers as part of an event taking place at Edinburgh Airport on Monday 19th May.
Police Scotland’s Border Policing Command is running a ‘Safer Travel Day’ where advice and guidance will be offered to passengers on how they can keep themselves safe while travelling.
There will be two stalls situated within the terminal building, where police officers and airport staff will be on hand to provide advice and guidance.
They will hand out leaflets to passengers containing a range of tips on safe travel, from crime prevention and personal safety advice, to who to contact in an emergency when abroad. The intention is to ensure that passengers are equipped with the information they need to have as safe a journey as possible, from airport to destination.
There will also be similar events held at Aberdeen, Glasgow and Prestwick airports.
Sergeant Stevie Amabile, based at Edinburgh Airport, said: “We are always looking for different ways to engage with the public and staff at Edinburgh Airport, and this event is another opportunity to raise awareness of the security issues when travelling by air. We will also be providing crime prevention information to help keep people safe as they travel between destinations.”
