The document was signed at the start of this month "in the spirit of enhancing the security of international civil aviation," the US embassy in Warsaw said in a statement.
Under the agreement, Poland and the United States will be able to deploy their in-flight security officers (IFSOs) on board aircraft flying between the two countries, according to the statement.
The agreement aims to "strengthen Poland’s already robust aviation security efforts by furnishing a security presence on board passenger flights between the United States and Poland," the statement also said.
In-flight security officers (IFSOs) serve as an active last line of defense against terrorism and air piracy, and are "an important part of a multi-layer strategy adopted by the United States to thwart terrorism in the civil aviation sector," the statement added.
