Magic Valley Regional Airport Transforms Airport Security Program  

Twin Falls Airport, officially known as Magic Valley Regional Airport (TWF), is a vital gateway to southern Idaho, offering convenient access to the region’s scenic landscapes and growing business hubs.

A year ago, TWF began offering two nonstop flights to Salt Lake City International Airport operated by Delta partner SkyWest Airlines in the Embraer E175. In anticipation of the larger capacity aircraft, the airport was required to adopt increased security measures. To outline how the airport would meet these stringent regulations, a new CAT IV Airport Security Plan (ASP) was required.

Kinexis Consulting played a pivotal role in enhancing the airport security plan for TWF. Their work, which involved a structured approach that included a detailed assessment, the development of a comprehensive plan, implementation support and compliance efforts, ensured that TWF could effectively manage security risks while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and meeting the needs of the airport community.

“Working with Kinexis was a productive and enjoyable experience,” said Bill Carberry, Airport Manager. “Their level of commitment to our project helped produce a high-quality ASP revision on schedule and within budget.”

The comprehensive scope of work for the ASP was initiated in October 2023. In addition, at the request of TWF, Kinexis also provided consultation services for their badging workflows and IDMS roll out. By May 2024, Kinexis Consulting had submitted the final draft of the ASP to both TWF and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Their thorough work, which was performed over an eight-month period, paid off when the TSA approved and accepted the program in June 2024, with only minor edits and adjustments needed.

Kinexis Consulting’s dedication and expertise were instrumental in upgrading Magic Valley Regional Airport’s security measures, enabling the safe and efficient introduction of the new flights. With the new ASP in place, passengers can look forward to enhanced security and a seamless travel experience at TWF.

“The Kinexis team delivered as promised,” said Matt Barnes, Airport Supervisor. “This was paramount to our success because we had previously been operating under a partial program. They provided insight and advice that helped our team learn. This customer service from Kinexis provided us with the best chance to develop a security program that would be successful.”
