Vehicle and Equipment Standards for Operating Airside

All vehicles and trailed equipment operating airside at Manchester Airport must be maintained and inspected in accordance with CAA CAP 790 Airside Safety Management and VOSA Regulations.

A maintenance system whilst important will not on it’s own ensure quality maintenance is obtained. Effective management of the operator’s fleet by persons competent to do so will provide the best method of quality control.
