The German airport operator will provide its complete range of ORAT services in three consulting phases that would continue for a period of 32 months and require a total of 4,700 project man-days.

Fraport ORAT director Alexander Larisch said: “Our unique ORAT programme allows us to find and solve any deficiencies relating to the opening of new terminals and other airport infrastructure – well before inauguration day.

"Operational trials are one of our most powerful tools to highlight critical issues, while proving the functionality of new facilities and systems."
