What documentation must operators carry when driving on the airside?

Operators driving on the airside at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) must carry a valid D-AVOP (Airside Vehicle Operator's Permit) and a vehicle operator's license as documentation. The D-AVOP is specifically designed to ensure that those who operate vehicles in the airside environment have been trained and certified to do so safely and in accordance with airport regulations. This certification signifies that the operator understands the unique challenges and operational procedures associated with the airside area, including safety protocols and navigational rules.

Additionally, possessing a valid vehicle operator's license verifies that the individual is legally permitted to operate the type of vehicle they are driving, further enhancing safety and compliance within the airport environment. Carrying both documents is essential for accountability and regulation enforcement, as it ensures that all vehicle operators meet the necessary standards to operate safely among aircraft and other airport operations.
