What is a consequence of not following AVOP safety protocols on the airside?

Not following AVOP safety protocols on the airside can significantly increase the risk of potential accidents and fines. Airside operations involve high levels of activity and complex interactions between various vehicles, aircraft, and personnel. Adhering to safety protocols is crucial to ensuring the safety of all individuals working in and around airport operations.

When safety protocols are neglected, it can lead to hazardous situations such as collisions, injuries, or failures in ground support operations. These incidents not only pose a risk to personnel but can also result in substantial financial repercussions, including fines imposed by regulatory authorities. Compliance with AVOP safety protocols helps maintain a safe environment, minimizes accidents, and reduces the likelihood of incurring fines due to regulatory violations. This highlights the critical importance of a culture of safety in aviation operations.
