New Airside Access Procedures from Wednesday 5 October 2022
This page is to highlight the changes to airside access from 5 October 2022 for club members with airside access.
Visiting GA and Flight Training will be handled by the JAC Flying Desk, but this information is for club members who need airside access.
The following two presentation given at the club to members on 30 June 2022 provide background as to the reasons for the changes:

All members requiring airside access from 5 October 2022 will now need, in addition to their membership card, a JAC Sponsored Airport Identity Card (AIC).

Access back into the club from airside
- This will be very similar to the current process except that the club member presents their AIC to the external door reader
- The door will release instantly
Keeping AIC valid (must be used at least every 60 days)
- AIC must be used every 60 days otherwise it is ‘parked’

- If you have no requirement to go airside, you can come up to the club and tell JAC Flying Desk Staff you are validating your AIC
- Present AIC to door reader
- JAC Flying Desk Staff will confirm AIC is shown as valid
- If you know you are going to be away more than 60 days in advance, please contact memsec@jerseyaeroclub.com in advance to discuss how to deal with this.
