Where is smoking permitted in the apron area?

In the apron area, smoking is strictly regulated to ensure safety and compliance with aviation and fire protection protocols. Smoking is prohibited in all parts of the apron except in designated smoking shelters. This is primarily due to the presence of flammable materials and the risk posed by potential ignition sources near aircraft and fueling operations. Designated smoking shelters are specifically located in areas where there is a reduced risk of fire or explosion, providing a safe environment for those who smoke.

Regulations are strictly enforced to protect personnel, equipment, and aircraft, and adherence to these rules is critical in maintaining safety standards in the airport environment.
