All drill activities will take place in a controlled area away from the public so as not to impact normal operations. Airport signage will keep passengers in the know about the events.
The airport sent out a message on social media this morning to warn those in the area that, though there will be an influx of emergency personnel at the airport, it is not a result of a real emergency.
