The enforcement action took place yesterday. Officers focused on verifying licensing conditions and compliance among taxis operating at the airport.
During the checks, four drivers were issued with compliance notices. One driver had their taxi licence suspended following further investigation.
The operation forms part of ongoing collaborative efforts between police and licensing authorities to maintain taxi and private hire standards and ensure public safety at major transport hubs.
