As required by Regulation EU139/14 and subsequent amendments, all operators with access to airside are required to complete a specific safety training course. The certificate issued on completion of the course is valid for 24 months and it is the employer's responsibility to check the validity of the certificate and apply for renewal (Airside Safety Recurrent Course).

A valid training certificate must be presented when an airport pass is issued or renewed. In addition, the operator will check the validity of the certificate using an electronic system located at the gates at each airside access point; access will not be granted with an expired certificate.

Two types of Airside Safety courses are provided:

• Airside Safety Plus, designed for unescorted personnel with access to the airside and under aircraft and firefighters. It covers topics related to FOD, Safety Net, PEA - Aeronautical Emergency Plan and Emergency Hand Signal.
  • Please indicate on the application form if the course is for personnel working under aircraft by ticking the appropriate box and the system will assign the appropriate course.
  • If the requested course is an initial course, two modules will be allocated: Airside Safety Plus and Airside Safety Plus Online Practice, to be completed in a prescribed order
  • Only for initial courses, once the online courses have been completed, it is necessary to attend an ASSESSMENT (verification interview) in person at the Training Centres, which must be requested with a special application. The certificate will be issued manually only after the successful completion of the assessment
  • The Airside Safety Plus Recurrent course consists of only one module, does not include an assessment and allows participants to print the certificate independently.
• Airside Safety (common): this course is designed for all operators who enter airside unescorted but do not work under aircraft.
  • Please specify on the application form whether the course is for personnel working in the airside but not under aircraft (do not tick the 'works under aircraft' box)
  • The system will assign the appropriate course requested - initial or recurrent
  • For both initial and recurrent courses, participants are allowed to print the certificate independently

As required by EU Regulation 139/14 (Annex IV ADR.OPS.B.025), the Airport Operator is responsible for issuing the “Authorisation to Drive in the Movement Area”.

The full regulations governing the issue and maintenance of the Airport Driving Driving License are available in Chapter 16 of the Airport Manual and the related annexes (Chapters 16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4 and 16.5).

Green Driving License – authorisation to drive on aircraft aprons; the full initial training programme is mandatory for first-time issuance:

• Green Driving License Theory Course (4 hours), classroom-based at the SEA Training Centres.

• Green Driving License Practical Course (2.5 hours), classroom-based at the SEA Training Centres.

• Green Driving License Examination, held in person at the SEA Training Centres.

To maintain the Driving License, completion of the online Airport Driving License Recurrent (Green) course is mandatory every 24 months from the date of first issuance. A Green Driving License Proficiency Check must also be completed every 24 months, every other year in relation to the recurrent course. Courses must be applied for to SEA Training using the request forms provided below.

Failure to comply with the training requirements for maintaining the Driving License will result in suspension of the authorisation to drive airside.

When the Airport Driving License expires, a renewal examination is mandatory. If a Driving License has been expired for more than six months, the initial training programme must be repeated. If the renewal examination is not passed, the Airport Driving Driving License will be considered suspended until the next examination is passed.

Holders of Driving Licenses issued by ENAC-certified airports who need to drive at Linate and Malpensa airports must attend a Driving License Familiarisation Course at the SEA Training Centres. The operator must subsequently take the examination required to obtain the Airport Driving License at the airport where the Familiarisation Course was completed. To drive in airside at the other airport within the Milan airport system, a further Familiarisation Course must be completed, with no additional examination required.

Anyone who holds a valid Airport Driving License but has not driven in the movement area for more than three months at their home airport and/or at other airports where they were previously familiarised must complete a Driving License familiarisation course at the airport where they will be operating.

Please refer to Chapter 16 of the Airport Manual for further details on the issue and maintenance of authorisation to drive airside.
