TRAVELLERS and workers at Canberra Airport are being asked to report suspicious activity to the police as part of a new Airport Watch program aimed at thwarting terrorist attacks.
Canberra is the third airport after Brisbane and Perth to join the program, which is based on the Neighbourhood Watch program.
"This program will reduce the likelihood of serious crimes happening at our airport and enhance our ability to assess, respond and resolve any incidents, should they occur," Australian Federal Police (AFP) Canberra Airport Police Commander Andrew Clarke said on Tuesday.
Airport Watch complements the AFP's existing capabilities, such as the community policing and counter-terrorist first response capability, bomb appraisal officers and firearms and explosives detection dogs.
Sydney Airport will join the program on Friday.
