What is the minimum age requirement to apply for an Airside Driving Permit?

The minimum age requirement to apply for an Airside Driving Permit is 18 years old. This age restriction is in place to ensure that all drivers at an airport have reached a level of maturity and responsibility that is deemed suitable for operating vehicles in a high-security and high-traffic environment. Airports require drivers to be of legal age to operate a vehicle, and this aligns with various other regulations regarding the operation of commercial and technically advanced vehicles typically used airside. Additionally, being 18 years old often correlates with having obtained a driver's license, which is essential for navigating the complexities and protocols of airside operations safely.
