How often must an AVOP be renewed?

The renewal period for an Airside Vehicle Operator Permit (AVOP) is set at every five years. This timeframe is established to ensure that operators maintain up-to-date knowledge of airside operations, safety procedures, and any regulatory changes that may occur. Regular renewal helps to reinforce the training and competencies required to operate vehicles safely on the airport airside, as conditions and operational standards can evolve over time.

This five-year renewal cycle is also aligned with best practices in aviation safety governance, promoting a culture of continuous learning and compliance with existing regulations. By requiring re-evaluation and renewal at this interval, the airport authorities can ensure that all vehicle operators are well-equipped to manage the responsibilities associated with airside vehicle operation.
