Cap. 405 ст. 12Access to restricted areas.

(1) No person shall enter a restricted area unless he is in possession of a security pass or a temporary authorisation in writing issued by the Head Aviation Security:

Provided that where the exigencies of the moment so require, a member of the Police Force or of the Armed Forces of Malta may, in pursuance of his duty, enter a restricted area without the security pass mentioned above, but shall in such cases produce their service identity card and upon demand by the Head Aviation Security: Provided further that the Head Aviation Security may allow any person to enter into a restricted area without a security pass or temporary authorisation in writing whenever he deems it expedient to do so.

(2) A security pass or a temporary authorisation in writing shall be issued in such form, for such time and under such conditions as the Head Aviation Security may deem expedient. Any such security pass or written authorisation shall be returned to the Head Aviation Security on its expiry.

(3) Security passes shall be displayed in a prominent position on the person in whose name they are issued as may be specified by the Head Aviation Security. Temporary authorisations in writing and identity cards shall be produced on demand when so requested by an authorised officer.

(4) A person holding a security pass issued under this article shall return it to the Head Aviation Security upon its expiry or when the person to whom it is issued ceases to be in the employment in connection with which the pass has been issued, or upon a simple demand by the Head Aviation Security, and the person employing such employee shall immediately inform the Head Aviation Security of the cessation, for any cause, of such employment.
