Security Office

First introduced in Airline Tycoon Evolution, the security office offers airlines protection from sabotage.

Airline Tycoon Evolution/Deluxe
The security office is accessible by a secret window pane (just above the flight status monitor on the upper or employee-only level of the airport) between Mr. Uhrig's office and the advertising agency or by pressing "Y". It offers the following services:
 * Monitor officeSc_002.jpg
 * Monitor notebook
 * Monitor staff office
 * Monitor bank
 * Monitor route
 * Monitor administration
 * Monitor aircraft (inside)
 * Monitor aircraft (outside)
 * Upgrade your gates (level 1, 2, or 3)

The most recently patched version of Airline Tycoon Deluxe features "blackout" periods; when the airport periodically loses power and the security office goes out of commission, rendering all airlines susceptible to sabotage. Once power is restored, airline managers have to go to the security office to restore their security options.

Airline Tycoon 2
In Airline Tycoon 2, the security office (known as "Eyes and Ears Security") can be found by clicking on the security guard standing next to the elevator on the upper or employee-only level of the airport. It can also be accessed by pressing "E".
