Lost Passes

If your Temporary or RAIC Pass has become lost OR stolen, you must immediately advise the Pass Control Office by calling 807-473-2628 or by email. Please provide your name and contact information.

Please note there is a $100 fee for lost passes.

Signing Authority

Signing Authorities will not authorize the issuance of RAICs, key cards or keys if an individual does not necessitate a consistent "need and right" of entry into an Airport Restricted Area.

Both Signing Authorities and Pass Holders are accountable to the TBIAAI for the return of RAICs, key cards and keys when no longer required for job duties and functions.

These items must be returned upon request, or within 48 hours following termination of employment, layoff, transfer or any circumstance in which the individual's "need and right" to access the Restricted Area is no longer required.
