The operations controller monitors every transfer from departure to confirmed arrival. They track the vehicle’s progress, maintain a check-in cadence with the driver, and activate the emergency protocol if any check-in is missed. They hold the principal’s organisation’s emergency contact chain and can coordinate with local emergency services if required.

The driver enters the arrivals terminal before the principal clears immigration and waits at a pre-agreed collection point. Inside-terminal collection eliminates unescorted kerb-side waiting.
