<![CDATA[Aviation security is essential for preventing and mitigating threats to airport operations. This study examines the influence of Aviation Security (AVSEC) officers’ performance and security screening procedures on aviation security risk mitigation and proposes an integrated management model. A mixed-methods approach was conducted at Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport, Palembang, during July–August 2026. Quantitative data from 95 AVSEC officers were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, while qualitative data were obtained from three key informants through interviews, observations, and documentation to provide contextual explanations for the quantitative results. The findings revealed that AVSEC officers’ performance significantly influenced risk mitigation (? = 0.235; p = 0.011), while screening procedures demonstrated a stronger significant influence (? = 0.439; p < 0.001). Both variables simultaneously influenced risk mitigation (F = 20.466; p < 0.001; R² = 0.308). Quantitative data were collected from 95 AVSEC officers and analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews with 3 key informants, observations, and documentation, with these qualitative findings serving to provide a contextual explanation for the quantitative results. Integrating quantitative and qualitative findings, this study proposes an aviation security management model comprising four pillars: human resource strengthening, adaptive security procedures, smart security technology and facilities, and inter-agency coordination. The proposed model aims to enhance aviation security risk mitigation effectiveness through coordinated and comprehensive security management.]]>
