The vehicle operator caused a minor incident during pushback and shall notify their supervisor immediately.
Vehicle operators involved in an aircraft cut-off shall advise the Airport Operations Control (AOC) at (416) 776-3055.

As vehicles A, B and C approach intersection, Vehicle B” has right-of-way as Vehicle A is in the connecting corridor. Vehicle A has the next priority and the last one is Vehicle C. Vehicles B & C are at the intersection of two main corridors, but vehicle C has a Stop sign painted on the corridor which gives this vehicle last priority.
As vehicles A, B and C approach intersection, Vehicle A” has right-of-way as Vehicle A is in the connecting corridor. Vehicle B has the next priority and the last one is Vehicle C.
