Alstef Group has inked a deal with Hent, the general contractor for airport operator Avinor, for the design and delivery of a complete inbound and outbound baggage handling system (BHS) at Bodø Airport, Norway’s sixth-largest airport.
“Alstef Group went through a tough and thorough procurement phase, leading HENT to start a year-long design and cooperation phase with them for the new Bodø Airport. During this design and cooperation stage, Alstef has shown that they are very well equipped and capable of solving the unique challenges that the new Bodø Airport presents,” said a HENT spokesperson.
The departure system scope includes check-in conveyors, transport lines to the hold baggage screening, an automatic sortation solution, 24 make-up chutes, transfer lines, and barcode readers.
For arrivals, the system will feature three new reclaim carousels (two inclined and one flat), complete with feed lines and barcode readers.
The project also includes SCADA integration and a Sortation Allocation Control (SAC) system to ensure a fully operational, reliable, and future-ready baggage handling system.
“We are confident that Alstef’s expertise, know-how, and knowledge will benefit HENT, the client, and the city of Bodø in creating a baggage handling system that will take the airport into the future.”
