Which vehicles are required to have an AVOP to operate on the airside?

The requirement for vehicles to have an Airside Vehicle Operator Permit (AVOP) is designed to ensure safety and security in the airside area of the airport. All vehicles operating on the airside, including service vehicles and motorized equipment, are required to have an AVOP. This includes not only emergency vehicles and specialized service vehicles but also passenger cars, which may be used for transporting authorized personnel.

By requiring all vehicles to obtain an AVOP, the airport can better manage airside operations, reduce the risk of accidents, ensure proper training for operators, and maintain a secure environment in sensitive areas. The overarching goal is to create a uniform standard for all vehicles, facilitating safe movement throughout the operational zones of the airport.
