Is tailgating permitted among airside vehicles?

Tailgating among airside vehicles is strictly prohibited to ensure safety and minimize the risk of accidents within the airport environment. Maintaining safe distances between vehicles allows for adequate reaction time in case of sudden stops or emergencies, which is particularly crucial on the busy airside where aircraft and various types of vehicles are in close proximity. The prohibition of tailgating helps to uphold safety protocols, reduce the likelihood of collisions, and ensures that all vehicle operators maintain a high level of situational awareness.

Prohibiting tailgating also contributes to better traffic management and compliance with operational standards set by aviation authorities. Overall, this policy is integral to maintaining a safe and efficient airside environment.
