Inside-terminal collection with a pre-positioned vehicle is the standard protocol. The bodyguard meets the principal inside the arrivals hall before they exit to the kerb. An operations controller tracks the flight and maintains communication with the driver throughout the transfer from the airport to the principal’s destination.
