Under what conditions can AVOP holders operate vehicles beyond designated areas?

AVOP holders can operate vehicles beyond designated areas only with explicit permission from airport management or Air Traffic Control (ATC). This requirement is in place to ensure safety and coordination in the busy and regulated environment of an airport. Airport management and ATC are responsible for overseeing all operations on the airside, and their authorization is critical to prevent unauthorized vehicle movements that could interfere with aircraft operations or pose safety risks to personnel and passengers.

This protocol ensures that all airside vehicle movements are conducted under strict oversight, helping to maintain the orderly flow of air traffic and the safety of operations. Other conditions such as approval from nearby drivers, restrictions to emergency situations, or changes in airline operations do not provide the necessary authority or oversight required for vehicles to be operated beyond designated areas.
