SubscribeAn important part of Cavotec Fladung’s product range is the Tunnel System. This system is based on the concept of providing all necessary services to the aircraft from below the apron tarmac.
By connecting through pop-up or hatch type systems
positioned close to the aircraft, the remainder of the tarmac is kept totally free for other airport traffic. Furthermore, the proximity of the services means that no time is lost when an aircraft comes in to the gate, thereby reducing even further the expected turnaround time.
The Cavotec Fladung Tunnel System
As the Cavotec Fladung tunnel system is a fixed installation, the average equipment lifetime is considerably longer than that of mobile equipment. Also, when receded into the technical room, all equipment is protected from ambient factors such as sun radiation, sand, wind and rain. The potential risk of a vehicle damaging the aircraft or supply systems during servicing is also eliminated as the integrated system does no require any type of vehicle.
Thanks to its innovative design, the technical room allows for easy access and maintenance for just a fraction of the cost involved in maintaining a fleet of service vehicles and other rolling equipment.
By eliminating the need for APUs, diesel powered GPUs and other service vehiclespollution is greatly reduced in and around the airport area. Furthermore, an efficient airport means fewer delays and a more comfortable travel experience for the millions of people using this mode of transport.
