The exercise simulated an accident during the landing of an aircraft from a non-Schengen country. For unknown reasons, the plane lost control, went off the runway, and caused a fire, resulting in several injured individuals and some fatalities.
More than 250 people participated in the simulation, including operational staff and extras. The integration of the airport's Emergency Plan, Catalonia's Special Aeronautical Emergency Plan (AEROCAT), and the Municipal Civil Protection Plan (DUPROCIM) of the Vilobí d'Onyar Town Council was tested. Response capacity, effectiveness, and coordination among various agencies were evaluated.
Firefighters from the Airport and the Generalitat carried out extinction, rescue, and salvage operations. The Medical Emergency System (SEM) mobilized 70 professionals and 27 units to assist the 40 affected individuals, establishing a Mobile Medical Area and a joint Evaluation Cell.
The Guardia Civil ensured security and access control, while the National Police handled the reception and identification of the aircraft's occupants. The Mossos d’Esquadra coordinated access, intervention zone security, and the Family Room.
The Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Catalonia (IMLCFC) performed simulated corpse retrievals and collected information for identification. The Red Cross provided logistical support and psychosocial assistance with 12 volunteers.
About a hundred extras, students from the University of Girona and other institutions, simulated passengers and their families. The search for interpreters for various languages was also tested.
