Its consistent and effective operation is necessary for stabilizing, evolving and restructuring the economy, ensuring the integrity, national security and defense capability of the country, improving the living conditions and standards of the population. This paper focuses on the security issues of transportation infrastructure facilities. It describes the general characteristics of a facility (a case study of Platov Airport, Rostov-on-Don) and its provision with engineering safeguards to ensure transportation, information and integrated security of a transportation infrastructure facility. The article provides statistics on the acts of unlawful interference in transportation infrastructure facilities between 2019 and 2021 (Platov Airport in Rostov-on-Don and Catherine II Airport in Krasnodar), facility categorization and vulnerability assessment.
