What are the threats?

Airports, like other parts of the transport network, could be attacked by terrorists. Terrorists may attempt to hijack aircraft or to get bombs on board an aircraft or place bombs in the terminal. The terrorist threat to aviation has been at a high level for some time and looks unlikely to change in the near future.

What if someone doesn’t have an Airport Identity Card or has the wrong type of ID Card?

Don’t be afraid to ask where someone’s pass is and what they are doing.

The main types of Airport Identity Cards are:

White Airport Identity Cards

For visitors. White ID card holders must be escorted by a full ID card holder when in the Restricted Zone.

Green Airport Identity Cards

For people who need to work in the internal airside areas only.

Blue Airport Identity Cards

For people who need to work on the apron and internal airside areas.

Red Airport Identity Cards

For people who need to work in all areas of the airport.

Yellow Airport Identity Cards

For people who don’t need to work in the Security Restricted Area.

Airport Identity Cards are also numbered to show which areas

the holder has access to:

1 = internal areas of the Security Restricted Area;

2 = baggage reclaim halls;

3 = baggage make-up areas;

4 = ramp;

5 = aircraft and their footprints;

6 = all other areas of the Security Restricted Area;

7 = all areas within the Security Restricted Area.
