Minister Koziej insisted that the formula of „round table of aviation experts” would provide an opportunity for exchanging different views on the security of aircraft transportation for VIPs.
 
Experts focused on three main areas:
  • Rules that would apply to using aircrafts by VIPs, which would include among others, dividing VIPs into different groups;
  • Security of air transport organised by the Chancellery of President, Prime Minister, Sejm and Senat as well as Ministry of National Defence – i.e. analysis of cooperation and specification of recommendations within this scope.
  • Safe completion of VIP transportation – type of state body that would be responsible for completing this type of transport, requirements and conditions for completing the task of air transport conducted by military aviation and security requirements during the transportation of high ranking officials carried by commercial aircrafts.
