Case Study: Christchurch Airport
Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) is situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island and receives more than six million passengers a year. In a legislation driven airport environment, CIAL is mandated by a number of Civil Aviation rules and regulations to provide control and monitoring of all access to restricted security areas. Gallagher protects all primary areas of aviation activity within the airport - terminal, airfield, support buildings and infrastructure.
CIAL Operations Manager Tim Morris says the desire to operate a modern and reliable access control system prompted the need to upgrade CIAL’s access system to Gallagher in 2007. “We needed something to provide the required security functionality today and allow for easy integration for more advanced requirements for the future,” he says. “We followed a robust evaluation process and found the Gallagher product was the best value for money and the best support structure for our site. In-house capability was a feature that set it apart from other systems.”
Case Study: Guangzhou Airport
Gallagher’s security system provides flexibility and scalability that is essential for the expanding Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. A major gateway to China, it is the largest airport in the south and the operational base for China Southern Airlines. As the burgeoning Chinese economy continues to expand, transport volume and demand for efficient transport networks increases with it. Gallagher’s security system is perfectly designed to keep pace with the airport’s growth.
