The ASC is required to maintain liaison with which individual?

• A. The Security Director
• B. The Aircraft Maintenance Supervisor
• C. The Airport Operations Center Manager
• D. The Airline Station Manager

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that security coordination happens with the on-site counterpart who oversees the airline’s day-to-day operations at a given station. The ASC must stay in close contact with the Airline Station Manager because this person is the primary point of contact for the airline’s activities at that station, including check-in, gates, ramp, baggage handling, and coordination with airport security. Keeping a direct liaison ensures security procedures, access control, and incident responses are aligned with the airline’s processes and needs, and information can flow quickly during events or changes in flight schedules.

The other roles are not the primary on-site counterpart for coordinating security with the airline at a station. The Security Director sits higher in the hierarchy and isn’t the day-to-day liaison for station-level operations. The Aircraft Maintenance Supervisor focuses on aircraft maintenance rather than coordinating security at the station. The Airport Operations Center Manager handles broader airport operations, but the direct, station-level security liaison with the airline is the Airline Station Manager.
