KUALA LUMPUR: The Eagle Stealth Safety Exercise to test the country's preparedness and response capability in facing public aviation security threats will be conducted at Terminal 1 of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Thursday (Nov 12).
The National Security Council (MKN) under the Prime Minister's Department said that the drill, which starts at 9am and is expected to end at 11.30pm, is being conducted in strategic collaboration with Malaysia Airports.
According to MKN, the exercise will be conducted to test the level of preparedness, coordination between agencies, and the effectiveness of the national response mechanism in addressing civil aviation security threats.
"Flight operations will continue as usual and this exercise will not affect the activities and operations of flight services at KLIA," according to the statement.
In this regard, members of the public around KLIA Terminal 1 are advised to remain calm if they see the movement of security teams, operational assets, or training activities during the simulation period.
