Strengthening Cockpit Security in Cargo Aircraft
New regulations aim to enhance the security of cargo flights by requiring reinforced cockpit doors. This means that from 2027, large-capacity cargo aircraft will need intrusion-resistant doors, potentially contributing to greater safety in air transport, indirectly affecting supply chains and goods costs.
Key points
As of January 1, 2027, new cargo aircraft with a payload capacity exceeding 6,500 pounds must have reinforced cockpit doors.
Cockpit doors must remain locked during flight, as directed by the pilot in command.
The goal is to increase the safety of crew and cargo in air transportation.
