Zugangsberechtigung für Sicherheitsbereiche des Flughafens beantragen

If you want to work in security areas at an airport, you need access authorization (e.g. an airport ID card). This requires a positive background check and various training courses.

If you want to work in a security area at an airport, you need access authorization. You will usually receive an airport ID card as proof of this. The ID card allows you to move around the airport unaccompanied in the areas relevant to your work. You may not give your ID card to any other person. If you lose your ID card or it is stolen, you must report this immediately to the airport issuing office.

You do not need access authorization at an airport if you are working outside the security areas, for example in the generally accessible entrance hall.

You usually apply for access authorization via the airport operator at the aviation security authority. The regulation applies to persons who regularly have to enter the security area of an airport, for example for

• security checks
• check-in
• transportation
• the inspection of air freight.

The security area includes

• Parts of an airport where screened passengers may be present shortly before departure
• Parts of an airport where checked baggage is located or transported through
• Areas of an airport where aircraft and other aircraft are parked
• for boarding and disembarking as well as loading and unloading

The regulation therefore also applies to

• Pilots,
• student pilots and trainee pilots,
• Members of airport-based clubs,
• student interns and trainees,
• Suppliers of goods and similar suppliers,
• traders and business people and
• employees of cleaning companies.

Application deadline: 1 month

Before starting work in connection with a background check, but in some cases a longer or shorter period is possible depending on the airport.

Please contact the ID office at the airport.
