On 22 January 2015, a pilot exercise using the AIRSAN Training Tool was conducted with the airport and public health authorities in Malta. AIRSAN Teams from RKI, RIVM and CAA UK participated as observers in this exercise. In the context of this exercise, several pre- and post-exercise meetings were conducted on 21 and 22 January 2015. These 2 days of intensive collaborative work gave us an excellent opportunity to discuss the structure and the content of the AIRSAN Training Tool and to agree on upcoming procedures.
