• C. Boards before the rest of the passengers, accompanied to the aircraft by immigration officer, documents kept in the flight deck, seated on 32 ABC, will be last on disembark
• D. Boards before the rest of the passengers, escorted by security, documents kept in the crew lounge, seated on 32 DEF, first to disembark

Answer: (A)

Deportee on board procedures focus on ensuring security and proper handover by keeping the detainee under immigration control, securely handling documents, and managing boarding and disembarkation to minimize risk and disruption. The best approach is to have the deportee board before the other passengers, escorted to the aircraft by an immigration officer, with all related documents kept securely in the flight deck. Seating them in the designated area (32 DEF) helps keep them separate from the general cabin, and arranging for them to be the last to disembark and to be met on arrival by immigration ensures a controlled, lawful handover. This combination protects security, maintains proper authority over the detainee, and aligns with immigration-led processing. Other options fail to meet these protections: boarding after passengers, or being escorted by security, or storing documents in a non-secure area, or disembarking first, would compromise the orderly handling and immigration control required for a deportee.
