What should ADP holders do upon encountering a closed section of the airside?

When encountering a closed section of the airside, it is essential for ADP holders to stay informed and follow the designated reroute instructions. This approach ensures safety, compliance with regulations, and maintains the flow of operations within the airside environment.

Reroute instructions are typically provided by airport authorities or air traffic control to manage traffic efficiently and to ensure the safety of all vehicles and personnel. Following these designated paths allows ADP holders to navigate around closed areas safely, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring that airport operations continue smoothly without disruption.

Choosing to find a way around it regardless of rules could lead to unauthorized access to restricted areas, potentially compromising safety and airport security protocols. Ignoring the closure because it doesn’t affect an individual’s immediate route undermines the importance of the reason for the closure, which could be for repairs, safety hazards, or other operational needs. Consulting with colleagues only does not provide the authoritative guidance necessary for navigating airside closures, as it may result in inconsistent practices that could lead to confusion or potential safety violations.
