How should drivers respond to emergency vehicles on the airside?

When responding to emergency vehicles on the airside, the appropriate action is to allow the vehicles to pass and yield as necessary. This is critical in ensuring the safety of all personnel and efficient operations within the airside environment. Emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks or ambulances, may need to reach an incident quickly, and they may require the right of way to do so without obstruction. By yielding and allowing these vehicles to pass, drivers help to avoid delays that could exacerbate an emergency situation.

This practice also promotes a culture of safety and awareness, as airside operations can be particularly busy and complex. It is essential for drivers to remain vigilant and responsive to the needs of emergency services. Proper training and awareness of established protocols ensure that airside operations function smoothly and safely, minimizing risks to all airport users.
