Who must comply with lawful orders in restricted areas?

• A. Airline management.
• B. Airport Police, Fire Department, Airfield Operations, or other emergency personnel.
• C. Ground equipment operators only.
• D. The passengers' union.

Answer: (B)

In restricted areas, directions from those who have official safety and security authority must be followed. This includes airport police, the fire department, airfield operations staff, and other emergency personnel. They’re trained to manage risks, control access, and respond to incidents, so their lawful orders are binding to protect people and keep the airport running smoothly. Groups like airline management, ground equipment operators, or a passengers’ union don’t have the same authority to issue enforceable orders in these zones, so their directions aren’t automatically binding there.
