Strasbourg Airport in France has awarded a contract to upgrade its baggage handling system (BHS) to Alstef Group.
In line with the agreement, Alstef will adapt the airport’s screening systems to meet the latest EASA Standard 3.1 screening requirements. The project will include adding a new make-up carousel and upgrading the outbound system for over-size items, to improve the terminal layout and create more space. In addition, eight check-in counters will be relocated within the terminal, while modifications of two feed line connections to the inbound carousels and a comprehensive upgrade of the PlC and SCADA systems will also be carried out.
“We are pleased to have selected the Alstef Group tailor-made solution to modernise our baggage handling system,” said Strasbourg CEO, Renaud Paubelle. “We will also leverage Alstef Group’s expertise to optimise the implementation and reduce negative impacts on operations.”
Following a two-year warranty period, Alstef Group will provide a four-year maintenance contract to help ensure the longevity of the equipment.
