The drill aimed to test coordination mechanisms and immediate response capabilities among relevant entities, while assessing the effectiveness of operational procedures to enhance public safety standards.

The exercise featured a series of simulated scenarios, including a mock aircraft incident, during which evacuation procedures were implemented, emergency plans were activated, and the incident was managed in a virtual environment replicating real-life conditions.

The simulation adhered to internationally recognised best practices in crisis management.
