ABSTRACT
An airport consists of numerous elements which are linked with various internal relations with a strong impact of the human factor. It is therefore a complicated socio-technical system. The correct operation of an airport requires providing the appropriate level of security by the Airport Managing Entity (AME). One of the aspects involved in providing security is protection against the acts of unlawful interference (ICAO 2010). The research related to providing the continuity of operation of an airport conducted so far focused mainly on the problem of operational availability i.e. the reliability of various technical components of the airport system considered together with their structural reliability as well as the external
task requires the selection of infrastructure, technical equipment and personnel allocation (Soukour et al. 2013) and assigning the financial means required for the implementation of all ApSS functions. Configuring the ApSS in a rational manner requires the knowledge on how the different elements of the complicated structure affect the final security level of an airport (Gerstenfeld & Berger 2011).
