What is required for a vehicle that is being escorted?

For a vehicle that is being escorted on the airside, having a Current Airside Vehicle Permit (AVP) is essential. The AVP certifies that the vehicle meets all necessary safety and regulatory standards required for operation in the sensitive and secure environment of the airside, which includes areas like runways and aircraft parking spots. This permit helps ensure that only authorized vehicles are allowed access, minimizing risks associated with unauthorized or unsafe vehicles operating in these high-security zones.

In contrast, ownership documents and previous inspection reports may provide some legal or historical context about the vehicle but do not confer the necessary permission or safety assurance required for airside operations. Driver’s personal identification, while important for verifying the identity of the person operating the vehicle, does not address the specific requirements for the vehicle itself to be deemed safe and compliant for airside activities. Therefore, having a Current Airside Vehicle Permit (AVP) is imperative for ensuring the highest level of safety and compliance in airside operations.
