Oshkosh Airport Products has delivered eight of its Striker Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicles to Hawaii Airports for use at Lihue, Hilo International, Ellison Oizuka Kona International, Kahului and Daniel K. Inouye International airports.
The delivery represents a long-standing relationship with the state of Hawaii and its airport fire departments, which have been operating a full fleet of Oshkosh Airport Product vehicles since 2004.
“For many years, it has been an honour to support the state of Hawaii’s dedicated aircraft rescue fire-fighting teams by producing Striker ARFF vehicles for airports among the islands,” said Jack Bermingham, Business Unit Director for Oshkosh Airport Products.
“The remote nature of the islands’ airports and proximity to mainland US can make accessibility to apparatus aftermarket services challenging in some circumstances. With an Oshkosh Airport Products dealer based on the island of Oahu, Hawaii’s airport fire departments have easy access to critical service support and parts inventory for their Striker fleets,” he added.
