DIVISION 02 / AIRPORT & AVIATION EQUIPMENT

Every gate turn depends on equipment that simply works.

Passenger boarding bridges, ground support equipment, baggage handling and apron & terminal infrastructure, specified, supplied, installed and maintained to aviation standards.

OVERVIEW

An airport runs on dozens of systems that passengers never see, until one stops.

Aircraft turnaround is a choreography of bridges, tugs, power, air, fuel and baggage flow, all measured in minutes. A single failed boarding bridge or jammed baggage line cascades into delays across the network.

Altivus supplies and integrates apron and terminal equipment from leading manufacturers, commissions it against operational acceptance tests, and backs it with maintenance and spares that keep stands available.

THE BUYER PROBLEM

“We're expanding a terminal against a fixed opening. We need equipment specified, installed, tested and integrated with our operations, and supported so stands stay available once we're live.”

How Altivus answers it

  • Equipment selection matched to aircraft mix, stand geometry and throughput targets.
  • Integration with building services, BHS and airport operational databases.
  • Installation and operational acceptance testing phased around live operations.
  • Maintenance contracts, spares holding and 24/7 response to protect stand availability.
TYPICAL PROJECT SCOPE

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
  • Equipment compliant with civil aviation authority and airside safety requirements.
  • Operational acceptance testing and airside permits coordinated before handover.
  • Designed for safe operation alongside live aircraft movements and ground crews.
  • Planned maintenance, inspection regimes and rapid-response repair to protect operations.
REPRESENTATIVE USE CASES

Where aviation equipment is decisive.

Terminal expansion

New pier fitted out with bridges, GSE and baggage flow against a fixed opening date.

Fleet electrification

Transition to electric GSE with charging and depot integration for emissions targets.

Baggage upgrade

Phased replacement of a baggage system while the terminal stays operational.
