What is the function of the gates to enter airside?

The function of the gates to enter airside serves a crucial role in controlling access for vehicles and personnel. These gates are designed to ensure that only authorized individuals and approved vehicles can access restricted areas of the airport where aircraft operations occur. This is vital for maintaining security, safety, and operational integrity on the airside of the airport. Controlling entry helps to prevent unauthorized access that could pose safety risks, and allows for better monitoring of activities within these sensitive areas.

Traffic management, both for vehicles and personnel, is essential for maintaining safe distances from operational areas, minimizing disruptions to flight operations, and facilitating emergency response if necessary. The gates are part of a larger security infrastructure that includes surveillance and monitoring systems, helping to maintain a safe environment for airport operations.
