Aviramp has launched its solar powered range of patented boarding ramps and bridges. This new suite delivers all the benefits of the company's existing products, with the added advantage of delivering zero emissions.
Moreover the company's ramps move all passengers together, so there is no need for any other GSE equipment, making it an "all inclusive and multi functional" product.
The appetite for buying ‘electric’ is evident in the swathe of incoming orders such as the most recent from Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport (LYS) in France with their 11 solar Continentals and a solar Regional to drive operational efficiencies there. Danish Airport Aarhaus Lufthavn (AAR) has just placed an order for a solar Continental, and three more are pending in the UK for Newcastle International Airport (NCL).
Aviramp has offered solar in the Lite model for quite some time. It can be seen ‘live and operational’ in Birmingham (BHX), Southampton (SOU) and Highlands and Islands (HIAL), as well as in Europe, most notably in Corsica at Figari-Sud Corse (FSC) and Ajaccio (AJA) Airports.
As Maurice Boyle from Logan Air says, "LoganAir is proud to partner with HIAL and Aviramp to bring this revolutionary yet simple device into service, to ease and speed the boarding process for the PRM (people with reduced mobility) and able bodied customers alike, across our Highland and Island network where many of our customers fly Logan Air to attend NHS appointments at mainland hospitals. A simple proposition, brilliantly executed."
