Safety and Efficiency On The Ramp

Efficient ground operations are crucial for maintaining punctual flight schedules and ensuring passenger safety. The Passenger Guiding System (PGS) offers a solution to meet these needs, enhancing both operational efficiency and safety during aircraft turnaround processes. By distinguishing passenger walkways from areas used by ground vehicles and machinery, it reduces the risk of accidents and streamlines passenger movement.

What is our Portable Passenger Guiding System?

The PGS is a modular dual-rail system designed to create clear, designated pathways for passengers on airport ramps. The system is Boeing-certified for underwing passenger movement and can be easily integrated with aircraft stairs, making it suitable for various aviation applications.

Key Benefits of the Passenger Guiding System

  1. Cost-Effective Solution: By streamlining passenger flow, the PGS aids in reducing turnaround times, leading to significant cost savings.
  2. Improved Customer Experience: A clear and guided pathway minimises passenger confusion, reducing the likelihood of boarding errors and ensuring passengers do not inadvertently approach incorrect aircraft.
  3. High Mobility and Adaptability: Its lightweight, modular design allows for easy setup by a single operator and adaptability across various environments.
  4. Unique Reel System: The PGS features an efficient handling mechanism with automatic roll-up, ensuring safe and swift rewinding, thereby enhancing safety for both personnel and materials. Designed for efficiency, the system requires minimal assembly, allowing for rapid deployment and easy integration into existing ground-handling processes.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) reported over 47,000 Mandatory Occurrence Reports (MORs) in 2023, highlighting the importance of stringent safety measures during ground operations. The system itself however also considers the safety of the operator.

Safety Features included in the design

  • High-Visibility Guidance – The yellow rope features embedded silver reflective strands, ensuring clear visibility in all lighting conditions, enhancing passenger safety on the ramp.
  • Durable and Weather-Resistant – Constructed from powder-coated, rust-resistant stainless steel, the system is built to withstand harsh airport environments and frequent use.
  • Effortless Handling – The unique reel system allows for smooth deployment and management, making it easy for a single operator to adjust as needed.
  • Controlled Retraction – A slow automatic roll-up mechanism ensures safe and steady retraction, preventing sudden movements that could pose a safety risk.
  • Enhanced Visibility Markings – Red reflective tape on all main posts improves visibility in low-light conditions, further supporting safe ground operations.
  • Quick Setup and Minimal Assembly – Designed for efficiency, the system requires minimal assembly, allowing for rapid deployment and easy integration into existing ground-handling processes.
