According to international and national aviation regulations, one of the essential requirements for airport and airline certification is the emplaced emergency plan. This emergency plan should include different types of emergency exercises, e.g. Full-scale, partial-scale, and table-top emergency exercises that may be encountered by the aircraft either at an airport or up in the air. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)’s regulation respected by the national Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) mandates airports to conduct full-scale emergency exercises every 2 years at most. The main purpose of
the exercise served different purposes including staff training and testing their readiness to handle various emergency situations, it also allows the participants to check the efficiency and effectiveness of the material and equipment’s at the airport to ensure the readiness for handling the crisis cases.

The case study includes the time planning and operational and safety procedures from the side of airport operations perspective including air traffic control units, airport rescue, and firefighting unit, medical division, and other stakeholders as airline and ground handler.
