Airport Facilities
At the airport terminal building flight information boards display information about arriving and departing flights. The airlines employees take passengers’ baggage and give them baggage claim receipts. The baggage moves on a conveyor belt to the baggage make up room. There, the luggage for each flight is sorted and placed in containers or on carts to be loaded on the proper airplane.
Modern airport terminals have banks, restaurants, snack bars, gift shops, newstands and bookstores, game rooms, flower shops, boutiques and even hotels.
Workers clean the cabin, put food from the in-flight kitchen on the plane, pump drinking water aboard, and load baggage and cargo. Fuel is pumped into tanks in the plane’s wings. An airline usually takes about 45 minutes to unload a plane and then load and service it for its next flight.
UNIT 5
THE SYSTEM OF RED AND GREEN CHANNELS
EFFECTIVE PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE CONTROL
Text
The dual-channel system was introduced at international airports to deal efficiently with the increasing number of passengers without reducing the effectiveness of the Customs control.
The system allows the passengers to choose between two types of channels:
- if the passenger is carrying nothing more than the allowances; no prohibited or restricted goods; no goods for commercial purposes, he may go through the Green channel indicated by the words “Nothing to declare”;
- if the passenger is carrying more than the allowances; some prohibited or restricted goods, or some goods for commercial purposes he must go through the Red channel indicated by the words “Goods to declare”.
In the European Union (EU) there is also a Blue channel for travelers from other European Union countries. As the EU is a customs union, travelers between EU countries don’t have to pay customs duties. The USA and Canada do not operate the dual-channel system.
Passengers should be well-informed about the functioning of the system i.e. about the descriptions and quantities of the goods that they may have with them when using the Green channel. This can be done by means of posters and panels at the airport or leaflets, distributed through tourist agencies or airlines.
Passengers who go through the Red channel complete customs formalities: they fill in the customs declaration form, present their baggage for inspection, pay the duties and taxes chargeable.
In the green channel passengers do not complete customs formalities, but they may be the subject of a spot check that customs officers exercise to prevent violations.
* * *
Dealing with any passenger the customs officer should first establish reasons for travel, examine passport and ticket to ascertain method of payment or previous journeys to drug production areas.
During practical examination the customs officer should link the passenger to his baggage and reasons for travel. For example, passengers traveling on business must have documents related to up-to-date transactions.
To facilitate the search customs officers should use tools and technologies at their disposal. Checking baggage for concealments customs officers should be careful to minimize the damage.
At all times customs officers must act with diplomacy, and be competent, firm and fair.

UNIT 6
PASSENGER CUSTOMS DECLARATION FORM
Text
Russia like almost all countries has certain formalities through which passengers must pass. They include passport and visa control and customs inspection of passengers’ baggage.
Almost all countries have forms that the passenger must fill in. Incoming passengers fill in an entry declaration form, outgoing passengers fill in an exit declaration form which is to be presented to the customs officer. The points of the declaration must be answered in full words in block letters. The passenger is to fill in his full name, citizenship, country of residence, country of destination, etc. The passenger must also declare prohibited, restricted and dutiable articles that he is carrying across the border. Information must be presented both in figures and in words. Personal belongings are brought in and taken out duty free and need not be declared.
If the passenger understates the value of an article or misrepresents the article in his declaration form he may have to pay a penalty in addition to payment of duty. The article can be detained and confiscated if the penalty is not paid. If in doubt about the value of an article the passenger should declare it and then ask the customs officer for assistance in valuing it.
Undeclared foreign currency in cash found during the search is liable to confiscation as smuggling.
The customs officer may ask the passenger to open his baggage for inspection, because the customs officer always has the right to check if the passenger is complying with the regulations and that he is not transporting goods exceeding the fixed quotas. The owner of the baggage must answer all the questions of the officer-in-charge on the contents of his baggage and must present any article for examination.
The entry declaration must be kept by the passenger for the duration of the stay in the country or abroad and must be presented together with the exit declaration on the way back. It can’t be renewed in case of loss.
