The last 18 months have seen Aviramp, the UK manufacturer of aircraft boarding ramps and bridges, has secured nearly £2 million with the US carrier Frontier Airlines, having just clinched £1.2 million of new orders with the Denver-based airline.
The new orders are for nine of its step-free boarding ramps. CEO and Aviramp founder Graham Corfield described the latest orders as a huge vote of confidence in his company and its innovative, award-winning ramps.
“We could not be more delighted to strengthen our relationship with Frontier Airlines, as it continues to grow its US operation and build for the future,” he said.
“This latest order means we have now supplied Frontier with 14 Aviramps in total, with the latest installations taking place as I speak. It’s part of a really successful start to the year for us which has seen a 30% rise in our order book.”
What’s particularly pleasing he added, is that Frontier have been using Aviramp’s step-free, solar powered ramps for some time, as he also noted they enabled passengers with reduced mobility to enjoy far greater dignity, while also helping reduce turnaround times at airports and by using solar power they also help decarbonise operations.
“Our solar-powered range are the first of their kind in the world and offer a fully sustainable alternative to diesel-powered or manual ramps at a time when the need for sustainable solutions has never been greater.”
Aviramp currently exports ramps and boarding bridges all over the world with clients in the Philippines, Minneapolis, Saudi Arabia, Mauritius, Italy, Japan, South Africa and the UK.
