True or False: AVOP holders can lend their permit to others for airside operations.

The statement that AVOP holders can lend their permit to others for airside operations is false. Each holder of an Airside Vehicle Operator Permit is specifically trained and authorized to operate on the airside based on their individual qualifications and knowledge of safety procedures. Allowing others to use the permit undermines the training and regulations set forth to ensure the safety and security of airside operations. Sharing or lending a permit could lead to unauthorized access and potentially dangerous situations, as the individual using the permit might not have the necessary training or understanding of air traffic protocols. Therefore, the distinct and personal nature of the AVOP makes it clear that such permits are non-transferable and can only be utilized by the individual who has received the training and certification.
