Coincidentally the information you received is incorrect.
In order to attain an Airport Driving Permit you must hold a valid UAE licence.
I would suggest that in future the information that you post is checked for validity before moving ahead.
As we all know, working on the ramp is very hazardous and every individual must always be fully aware of their surroundings and what is going on.
I would like to ask whether the individual involved was actually wearing a high viz tabard as I always seem to see folk not complying with this.
That being said, I wish him well and hopefully a speedy recovery.
