Are our public liability and third party vehicle insurance liabilities covered by our Ground Operator’s Agreement with Auckland Airport?
No the Insurance required for the issue of an Airside Vehicle Permit is separate from the insurance cover required for the Ground Operator’s Agreement.
Our Insurer/Broker is overseas, so we cannot produce Form AOT 5 on the required day?
One must advise AIAL in writing of the expected legitimate delay, so that we can advise AVSEC of a ‘grace period’ accordingly.
Our Insurer/Broker cannot or will not use Form AOT 5.
An AIAL Form AOT 5 MUST be used. Failure to do so may result in permits not been issued.
The AVP keeps falling off, or deteriorates in the inclement weather.
Operators are responsible to ensure that permits are affixed to vehicles and to request a replacement if/when required.
We did not renew our permits because we did not receive a reminder from AIAL.
It is the responsibility of all companies to always have current permits. AIAL at times may send out reminders but companies should not rely on these reminders to ensure their AVP’s are up to date.
