Passenger stairs : everything you need to know
Boarding stairs are part of the basic GSE equipment of an airport or airbase. They enable passengers and aircraft personnel to get on and off
GSE, or ground support equipment, refers to all the ground-level equipment used at airports and airbases. This equipment, with its many and varied uses, sometimes needs to be renewed, particularly when it begins to malfunction or show signs of obsolescence, diminishing its performance.
Renewing GSE equipment is essential for both performance and safety reasons. Obsolete equipment slows down airport operations and fluidity. A lack of performance also slows down flows and the speed at which the various operations carried out usually proceed.
Reduced performance also means an unnecessary and often very substantial increase in airport or airbase management costs. You have to redouble your efforts, and provide more resources to achieve the same results.
Last but not least, safety. The safety of any airport or air base depends largely on the quality of its ground support equipment. When the latter becomes obsolete, it is no longer able to ensure optimum safety for the personnel, passengers and goods being transported.
Renewing your ground support equipment fleet allows you to opt for innovative equipment. The latest techniques and technologies used in GSEs offer innovative and, in some cases, futuristic features.
So, for example, renewing your GSE equipment allows you to opt for more eco-responsible solutions. Far less polluting manufacturing techniques are increasingly being used. Given the size of ground support equipment, reducing pollution at the design stage is a necessity.
Moreover, the new GSE technologies can be powered by engines that are also much less polluting, as they produce fewer emissions.
In addition to the ecological aspect, investing in a new fleet of SOVAM GSE equipment also helps to optimize the fluidity and safety of your air base. The use of anti-collision systems, rugged 360° surveillance cameras and many other technologies optimize airport performance in many ways.
