Aviation industry participants who are airport operators must report aviation security incidents (other than cyber security incidents) in accordance with this section.

An incident that relates to the airport of another operator must be reported to that other operator.

An incident that relates to the aircraft of an aircraft operator must be reported to the aircraft operator.

An incident that relates to the airport of the airport operator must be reported to:

the Secretary; and

the Australian Federal Police or the police force of a State or a Territory; and

if it relates to a part of an airport of the operator for which a lease or licence has been granted to another person—that other person.

However, the operator is not required to report under paragraph (4)(c) if the incident:

relates to the airport in general; and

is not specifically directed at the part of the airport for which the lease or licence has been granted.
