INAD Escorts
Keeping Flights Safe During INAD TransportsUnruly passenger behaviour is aviation's number one incident category. When airlines need to transport an inadmissible passenger, EATA provides highly trained security escorts to guarantee the safety of the flight.
Airlines Struggle With INAD Transports. We Solve That.
Unruly passenger behaviour remains aviation’s number one incident category — and the numbers are increasing. The challenge is particularly acute when airlines need to transport an INAD (inadmissible) passenger: an individual refused entry to a country and required to be returned by the carrying airline.
Our security escorts are trained in communication skills, restraint techniques and flight safety — and are fully prepared to respond to in-flight emergencies.
EATA provides highly trained security escorts to guarantee flight safety during INAD transports. Our officers know what to do not just with the passenger — but in any in-flight emergency that may occur during the operation.
We also offer escort training and techniques directly to airline staff, so your own teams can build capability for routine INAD operations.

A Complete INAD Escort Capability
What We Provide
EATA provides both operational escort services and the training to build internal capability within your airline — covering the full scope of what INAD transport demands.
Operational Escort Service
EATA officers travel with your INAD passengers. Fully trained in restraint, communication and flight safety — and qualified to respond to any in-flight emergency during the operation.
Communication & De-escalation
Our officers are trained in the communication techniques that make the difference before physical intervention becomes necessary — reducing risk to crew, passengers and the operation itself.
Full Flight Safety Awareness
Every EATA escort officer understands aircraft emergency procedures — decompressions, evacuations, door systems, interphone and cockpit door protocols. They are not just security personnel; they are aviation-aware operators.
Staff Training
We deliver escort techniques and INAD training directly to airline staff — building internal capability for organisations that handle regular INAD operations or want to reduce reliance on third-party escorts.
Build INAD Capability Within Your Own Team
For airlines handling regular INAD operations, EATA also delivers escort training directly to your staff. Our training covers the full scope of what your people need to manage INAD transports safely and professionally.
