What is the primary purpose of the D-AVOP?

The primary purpose of the D-AVOP is to ensure safety and compliance for airside vehicle operations at Vancouver International Airport. This permit is specifically designed to establish standards and protocols that enhance safety for both airport staff and aircraft. By requiring operators to be well-trained and knowledgeable about the unique challenges and regulations of the airside environment, the D-AVOP aims to mitigate risks associated with vehicle operations near active runways and taxiways. Ensuring compliance with established safety measures is crucial for preventing incidents that could lead to accidents or disruptions in airport operations.

While other aspects like revenue generation, passenger traffic regulation, and environmental compliance are important in the broader context of airport management, they do not pertain specifically to the function of the D-AVOP. The focus of this permit is strictly on safety and operational compliance related to airside vehicle movements.
