Tools of the trade schemes

ID pass holders who need to carry or use any article for essential airport services that would normally be prohibited in the security restricted area are required under EU law to carry an authorisation.

For this reason, any ID pass holder in possession of tools required for essential airport services must carry a tools of the trade card.

Further information on how to apply for a tools of the trade card for both full and temporary airport pass holders can be found here.

Please contact your local airport ID Centre should you have any queries on the scheme.
