ADB SAFEGATE APPROACH. Every airport is different. One solution will not fit all. Every solution must be tailored to each airport’s demands, environment and business objectives. We know that existing infrastructure often contains hidden and unused capacity that can be released with a holistic view of the airport. ADB SAFEGATE applies an advisory, consultative approach to creating the right solution.

Our aim is always to propose a cost effective way to resolve an airport’s most pressing challenges, quickly and smoothly. This can encompass every aspect of air traffic control and guidance, from approach, runway and taxiway lighting to tower-based traffic control systems, to intelligent gate and docking automation. We use an operational view to optimize airport performance and customer success.

Six-step program tailored to optimize airport performance

Our operational approach analyzes an airport’s current situation and aims to create a future-proof solution that boosts aircraft movements safely and optimizes airport efficiency. We accelerate airport performance around efficiency, sustainability and safety, by analyzing, recommending and delivering the right mix of intelligent operational and technical solutions and services for the tower, airfield and gate.

Every solution must be tailored to each airport’s demands, environment and business objectives. We know that existing infrastructure often contains hidden and unused capacity that can be released with a holistic view of the airport.
