Protocol on the access of media representatives to public, controlled, and security-restricted areas of the airport

This Protocol establishes the rules and conditions under which representatives of the media may be granted access to, and remain within, designated public, controlled, and security-restricted areas of the airport. All visitors to the airport are obliged to comply with, and act in accordance with, the provisions of the Aviation Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 18/2001) and the regulations issued thereunder.

Announced and foreseeable events

In the case of announced or foreseeable events (e.g. the filming of reports, the arrival of athletes, public figures, etc.), media representatives or the initiating organization shall notify in advance both the Corporate Communications Department and the Security and Safety Department of Fraport Slovenija. This requirement applies equally to recordings coordinated with Fraport Slovenija and to recordings conducted on behalf of other companies and organizations operating at the airport, where such filming takes place in public, controlled, or security-restricted areas of the airport. Entry into controlled and restricted areas shall be permitted only in the company of an individual holding an appropriate airport identification badge.

In order to prevent potential complications or delays in the issuance of the necessary permits, notification is to be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the event. The notification shall contain the following information:

• name of the media organization,
• purpose of the visit,
• date and time of the visit, expected duration,
• personal details of journalists, camera operators, and photographers (full name, date of birth, identity document number),
• the area of the airport in which the filming will take place,
• full name and telephone number of the contact person who will accompany the media representatives.

All notifications will be reviewed by Fraport Slovenia’s Security and Safety Department, which will issue its decision in writing.

When filming takes place in the airport’s public areas, the presence of security staff accompanying journalists is not required; however, prior notification to both the Security and Safety Department and the Corporate Communications Department remains mandatory.

Visitors or other persons not in possession of a valid airport identification card may enter the controlled area of the airport solely when accompanied by a person holding a valid and appropriate identification card. Entry is permitted only through designated security checkpoints, where such persons shall undergo a security inspection and shall be issued a visitor’s badge.

Emergency Security Events

In cases of emergency security events (arrivals/departures of famous personalities, demonstrations, incidents, emergency procedures, accidents at the airport, etc.), access for journalists to the controlled part of the airport may be approved by the company’s management or the head of operations, while entry to security-restricted areas also requires approval from the Airport Police Station. If access to the site of the event is granted, Fraport Slovenija will provide appropriate escort for media representatives. The assembly point for media representatives is near the information desk in the check-in area or in the public area of the passenger terminal.

If the emergency event is related to Fraport Slovenija, the official spokesperson for media representatives is the Head of Corporate Communications. If the media are not granted access to the restricted area, the company will provide information in a press release. If the emergency event concerns airlines, air traffic control, state authorities, or other institutions, the official statements to the media will be given by the responsible persons of those companies or institutions.
