When a fire occurs in ground support equipment at an airport, it has an immediate impact on airport operations. Aircraft may be stranded on the runway for hours. The worst-case scenario, of course, is that a ground support equipment fire causes an aircraft fire. However, the downtime and repair costs of the ground support equipment alone are sufficient reasons to consider additional fire protection measures.
Providing ground support for airlines is no easy task. Many vehicles in the ground support equipment fleet are equipped with large and complex engine compartments and hydraulic systems. These vehicles are pushed to their limits to provide operational excellence.
Our engineers work with airport ground equipment maintenance managers to identify specific fire hazards and customize solutions for the entire fleet.
