Overview

  • Officials said the real-scale simulation was scheduled after public hours, so passenger services and the aerotrén timetable remained normal.
  • SEMAR led the operation through UNAPAP and BLONAE, which deployed canine units assigned to the High Command.
  • AFAC, SENEAM, airport operations staff, medical teams, firefighters and civil protection units took part in the drill.
  • Designated evaluators reviewed each participating team’s response to guide follow-up actions and continuous protocol updates.
  • Media reports differ on whether the drill occurred at midnight Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and some coverage links the exercise to preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
