談。桃機Talking TTIA "Bang!" The sounds of explosions and gunshots reverberate through the Departures Hall of Terminal 2. The terrorist attack immediately puts the airport on red alert! Travelers on a suicide mission had placed explosives in their check-in luggage, planning on attacking the plane after it took off. Instead, when the bomb is discovered, the terrorists set it off in the terminal, causing many people to be injured before taking hostages in a standoff with the police. Fortunately, the terrorist is soon brought into custody by the police, and the hostages are freed. Paramedic squads then move forward to triage the injured. Anti-terrorism drills improve readiness This scene of high alert occurred in mid-November 2021 in a TTIA Terminal, but it was only a drill. Taoyuan International Aiport Corporation(TIAC) hopes to instill an ethos of "unified defense," by conducting exercises that are truer to life so as to strengthen mechanisms of cooperation between central and local governmental units and to test the airport's capabilities to respond to terrorism. Apart from exercises carried out within the terminal, at the end of October TTIA also held a drill to respond to a runway landing crash resulting from mechanical failure. Virtual and live disaster response drills The air disaster prevention and rescue drill occurred both live on site and in on-line simulations. There were more than 13 units involved, with more than 130 vehicles and 480 personnel participating in exercises testing responses to a situation in which large numbers of people needed rescuing, medical treatment, and transport to hospitals. The drill also involved evacuating travelers and facilitating customs clearance for them. The TTIA fire brigade brought out a new command vehicle that can serve as a forward command post and a ladder truck that can extend to 30 meters in height. Online, it also confirmed the soundness of various units' contingency plans and procedures. Open 24 hours per day, TTIA conducts these exercises and drills to keep its ability to respond to emergencies strong and to ensure that relevant units will mobilize in unison to protect the national gateway. To strengthen its emergency response capabilities, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA) held disaster rescue and anti-terrorism response exercises at the end of 2021, increasing familiarity with coordinated emergency responses and raising crisis awareness among airport staff. Such efforts help to bolster frontline safety at the national gateway. ▲ 機場消防大隊出動消防水車演練噴水滅火。 TTIA's fire brigade turns on its firetrucks' water hoses during a fire drill. ▲ 航警局防爆小組出動，準備在防爆桶中引爆 疑似爆裂物。 The bomb squad prepares to place a suspected explosive device into a containment chamber. 09 機場動態Airport in Motion 桃園機場消防大隊的救災 指揮車可以在緊急時刻變 身成為前進指揮所，指揮 搶救作業。 Dur i ng emergencies, the command vehicle can turn into a for ward command p o s t , d i r e c t i n g r e s c u e operations. ▲
