Who should drivers contact if their vehicle becomes disabled on an active taxiway?

When a vehicle becomes disabled on an active taxiway, the appropriate authority to contact is Airfield Management or the Control Tower. This is vital for maintaining operational safety and ensuring that air traffic control is aware of any potential hazards on the taxiway. The Control Tower can coordinate immediate response actions, relay information to pilots, and help manage aircraft movements around the stranded vehicle.

Airfield Management is responsible for the overall safety and operations of the airfield, including any vehicles that may pose a risk. By contacting them, drivers ensure that the situation is handled with the urgency it requires and that proper notifications are made to keep the airspace safe and compliant with regulations.

While Ground Control is essential for managing surface movements, in this context, the direct contact with Airfield Management or the Control Tower ensures that the correct and immediate protocols are followed in response to an emergency situation on an active taxiway.
