Sep 03, 2010 (newstodate): Copenhagen Airport is now testing various solutions to solve the long-stand problem around security in airside air cargo transportation from terminals to aircraft parking stands.
-Before the summer holiday season its was decided to focus on a low-tech solution to live up to security requirements for the airside transport of cargo from cargo terminals to passenger aircraft parking stands, and we are now testing various types of nets to find the optimal solution, says Johnnie Muller, Copenhagen Airport head of security.
-Compared to other options like video surveillance, plastic wrapping or replacing all existing more than 1,000 vehicles with new covered types, this alternative is both easily implemented and more environmentally friendly - and it also enables us to use the fleet of vehicles flexibly for both cargo and luggage transportation.
-A working group including representatives from all involved parties is following the tests and will sum up experience to present a final solution that will be also acceptable to the Danish CAA, says Mr Muller.
The ongoing tests and the final recommendation will hopefully end the long drawn-out debate since the start of the year on the issue, and provide a result that will add little extra cost to the industry.
