Underscoring its focus on enhancing the safety and efficiency of the air transportation system, The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reports that it is forming a Security and Safety Services organization under its Commercial Airplanes business.

Industry safety veteran Charlie Higgins will lead the team to enhance the safety, security and efficiency of airplanes and the larger air transport system. Higgins, who has 30 years of experience working together with industry and government, most recently was vice president of safety and airworthiness for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

Boeing Security and Safety Services' immediate focus will be to help customers implement the recommendations of the U.S. Department of Transportation Rapid Response Team on Aircraft Security (commonly known as the Mineta task force).
