Introduction
Rotterdam The Hague Airport is an extremely safe airport.
Every year more than 50,000 take-offs and landings of aircraft take
place here. With the increasing number of flights, it is becoming
ever busier on airside and for this reason, we pay constant attention
to order and security to ensure that in the future too, Rotterdam
The Hague Airport remains a safe airport. In order to prevent unsafe
situations from arising, special rules and regulations apply.
Rules and regulations airside
In order to control all the processes taking place airside, there
are rules, regulations and procedures in place. These have their
origins in the laws and regulations relating to the safety and security
of civil aviation, fire safety and working conditions. Rules and regu-
lations applying to airside are laid down in various rule books, but in
order to ensure that these are complied with by everybody involved,
the most important and most general rules, regulations and proce-
dures have been summarized in this handbook.
For whom is this handbook intended
This handbook is intended for everyone working airside.
Airside is the section of the airfield where aircraft land, take off,
taxi, park, are handled by ground-handlers and are possibly towed.
Among other things, this area is closed off by a perimeter fence
which separates the airside from the landside. Everyone who works
on airside must know and comply with the rules and regulations that
apply there. Therefore this handbook is being given out to everyone
who is authorized to enter airside, and to anyone who wishes to be
considered for authorization.

nl /reglementen and also, among other places, in the instruction
programme Beveiligingsbewustzijn.This handbook does not replace
or modify the rules and agreements described elsewhere, but is to
serve as a summary of the most important rules and as a source
of information. The handbook can be used for reference in daily
practice, and in preparation for the various tests which you must
successfully pass in order to obtain an official ID card of the airport
(luchthavenpas - officieel luchthavenidentiteitskaart Rotterdam
The Hague Airport). The handbook is also of importance for those
who carry out work on airside with a visitor pass. We count on
your commitment in your own interest and in that of others.
