How often should airside vehicles be inspected?

Airside vehicles must be inspected regularly and according to the specific mandates set forth by airport policy. This ensures that all vehicles operating in the airside area are safe, reliable, and compliant with safety regulations. Regular inspections help to identify potential issues before they become significant problems, thus enhancing both safety and operational efficiency.

Airport policies are designed based on regulatory requirements and best practices, tailored to ensure the proper functioning of airside vehicles in a dynamic and sensitive environment like an airport. Adhering to these policies contributes to operational readiness and helps prevent accidents or incidents involving ground vehicles and aircraft.

By following the prescribed inspection schedule, operators ensure that they are proactive about maintenance, rather than reactive, which is crucial in a busy airport setting. Regular inspections also foster accountability among operators and support the overall safety culture at Vancouver International Airport.
