Although it has been recognized that airport operators need to train personnel who are required to be on runways and taxiways, it has not always been acknowledged that drivers on ramps and aprons needed to be trained as well.

Based on the wording in the preamble to Part 139 and because the regulation indicates "personnel who access movement areas" and not "personnel who have access to the movement areas," Section 139.303 applies only to the airport operator's personnel.
