2. Entrance in the cockpit is protected with additional door with coded lock.
3. On the board of each flight are always present Aviation Safety officers with weapon. Their number may reach 6 people. All of them are from purpose-built army units.
4. All crew members (pilots, fly attendants) attend special courses of close fight and personal defense also they have special behavior skills in emergency situations.
