Airside safety

The Airside Safety department works to maintain a secure and efficient environment for aircraft, vehicles, personnel and travellers. We also promote airport safety through posters, videos and educational awareness programs.

Safety and security team

The safety and security team consists of highly skilled and well-trained safety and security officers (ASOs) who cover all facets of the airside environment. They are on duty 24/7 to monitor compliance in areas such as:

  • Security
  • Environment
  • Wildlife control
  • Aviation standards
  • Noise management
  • Construction activities

The team responds to emergencies and investigates all incidents and accidents. This department monitors and enforces all aspects of the Airside Vehicle Operator's Permit (AVOP) program, including administering tests.
