Introducing Glidepath's 'Airport Services' Division
It is in Glidepath’s interest to ensure the client’s product performs well throughout its life cycle. The client wins with a product they can rely on and Glidepath wins by strengthening an already strong reputation for reliability. To help achieve this win / win, Glidepath has created a separate Airport Services division to further its after sales service. Dave Kerrigan who recently was responsible for the Operations and Maintenance at Toronto Pearson International Airport – Terminal 3, was hired as Airport Services Manager to head up this division.
Glidepath believes that airports are looking for economies of scale. Once an investment is made to maintain a baggage system, there are opportunities to expand the service into other areas. Baggage systems have become extremely complex and as a result, personnel trained in a baggage system can easily expand their skill into other airside and groundside areas, such as, passenger boarding bridges, visual docking display systems, public address systems, parking lot systems, life safety systems etc.
Airport Services does not stop at providing maintenance services. It is actively seeking more involvement in the operation. Currently there are two locations which can be used as a template for doing both Operations and Maintenance. Adelaide Australia and Lima Peru demonstrate the efficiencies of combining operations and maintenance under one umbrella. Once on site, airports enjoy having a group of trained professionals ready and able to respond throughout their operational day.
