This form is to be used when applying for a New, Renewed or Category Upgrade Authority to Drive Airside (ADA). All who drive vehicles or GSE on the airside of Darwin International Airport (DIA) must hold a current DIA issued ADA. The requirements of ADA holders are set out in the DIA Airside Vehicle Control Handbook, the DIA Airside Driver’s Guide and the Airports (Control of On-Airport Activities) Regulations 1997.
All Applicants must log at least the minimum hours required for the Category applying for under supervision, successfully complete the relevant online induction/s and Check Ride if required. If airside vehicle gate access is required, attempts to code the ASIC directly will be made at no additional cost. If the ASIC is non-proxy (cannot be coded) then a separate Access Card will be provided at a charge of $20.00 inc GST.
New Category 3 and 4 ADA (including from lower Categories) will be subject to completing a Check Ride Assessment and approval by the DIA Airside Manager, or delegate. To request a check ride booking please email diatraining@ntairports.com.au or call 08 8920 1852.
Please bring your drivers licence and ASIC when collecting your ADA.
