The Airport ID Card is a personal and a permanent Personal Airport ID Card.
The Vehicle ID Card is a vehicle-related permanent ID Card.

access to the apron. The apron forms part of the critical parts of
security-restricted areas of an airport. This ID Card includes the authorizations of the “green” ID Card. Prior to the issue of this ID Card, a security background check, a safety management training and an aviation security training are required.
