AAVP Functions

The following are the functions of the AAVP:

  • To identify the vehicle and ensure only authorised vehicles gain airside access

  • To enable Cork Airport Management to effectively control vehicles airside

The AAVP 

The AAVP is white in colour with a hologram strip over the AAVP number. An AAVP is valid for a maximum of two years to the end of the AAVP cycle. Details in the pass include:

  • Pass number

  • Vehicle registration number

  • Vehicle make/type

  • Fuel/battery operated

  • Fleet number

  • Licence category required to drive the vehicle.

  • Company name

  • Pass expiry date

  • Access Area

Once an AAVP has expired, it should be returned to the ID office in the Terminal Building and a renewal pass can then be processed (Airside Access Vehicle Pass Form).

If your pass is lost or stolen you must report it immediately to the ID Office at idoffice.cork@corkairport.com or Airport Police and fill out the Lost/Stolen AAVP form (Airside Access Vehicle Pass Form) so that a replacement can be processed. Please see procedure document AMUVP-02 above for reporting lost, stolen, cancelled or withdrawn Passes.

The charge for replacement of Lost/Stolen passes can be found in the Miscellaneous Charges section.
All requests must be signed by the company's authorised signatory.
