Stansted Airport Ltd Security Procedures
Charter aircraft will park outside the BIP (north side) and
attendants will remain with the animals during inspection within the BIP. If
a scheduled cargo flight arrives at the Cargo Terminal on the south side
of the airport, grooms will accompany the animals in their containers from
the cargo area to the BIP, remaining airside.
On occasions it may be required for the shipment to pass through the
security barrier at the cargo terminal – VP1 - and be transported landside
to the BIP. In this eventuality, permission must be granted by Customs,
Immigration and Stansted Airport Security and a pre-advice must be submitted
on airline headed paper. If a container has been offloaded from an aircraft
at the cargo terminal and has passed through the airside security fence to
the rear of the cargo sheds, it may have to travel to the BIP, remaining
airside, via Security Gate VP5 (next to the TNT cargo shed).
To obtain authorisation, a fax must be sent to Stansted Security Services
on 01279 663254. The format and information contained in the fax is the same
as that being sent to Customs and Immigration for their control purposes
(see Fax Form).
Airlines and Handling Agents must ensure that the person signing the form
is a Stansted full ID holder. Any blank spaces on the form should be scored
through to ensure that other names cannot be added after the form has been
signed.
Stansted Security will notify Security Post VP1 of the names of the
animal attendants. The preadvice will act as a valid document to allow exit
from airside.
Animal attendants must be accompanied at all times whilst airside.
A plan showing the Cargo Terminal Security Gate and location of the
Border Inspection Post is included in BIP MAP.
