Who can be considered a contractor at the airport?

A contractor at the airport refers specifically to a company that has entered into a formal agreement to provide specific services or functions at the airport. This may include a variety of services such as ground handling, maintenance, and security, among others. Contractors are typically responsible for delivering on the terms of their contract, which often includes adhering to regulatory requirements and safety standards.

In contrast, volunteers do not have an official contractual relationship with the airport; they often engage in non-paid activities and do not provide services under a formal agreement. The airport's safety management team is usually an internal team responsible for overseeing safety protocols, not a contracted service provider. Furthermore, a temporary worker may work for the airport but is often employed directly rather than as part of a separate contracting entity. Thus, the definition of a contractor is properly encapsulated by a company under contract to provide services at the airport.
