As announced earlier this week, our airports unit is to supply ground support equipment for the new Emirates A380 Engineering Centre at Dubai International Airport.

We will install and commission in-ground pop-up pits and pre-conditioned air units for four new A380 maintenance hangars.

The centre is the largest single free-spanning roof structure in the Middle East, and the four new hangars will bring the total at the facility to 12.

Our innovative systems already serve the existing hangars at the centre, as well as Dubai’s recently opened Concourse A which is dedicated to Emirates’ growing fleet of Airbus A380s.

Cavotec systems enable airports to reduce the use of diesel-driven equipment, increasing operational efficiency and resulting in cleaner air and less cluttered tarmac around aircraft.
