Meet the new ADB Safegate CEO Christian Onselaere, and our Head of Sales & Marketing, Per-Olof Hammarlund, in this new video where they share their thoughts about the future for ADB Safegate. Find out the reasons for joining forces and what makes ADB Airfield and Safegate stronger together? What solutions can we provide to help airports to be even more efficient in the rapidly changing environment where traditional solutions alone are no longer sufficient to outgrow the market?

The environment for airports is changing rapidly. Historically air traffic has been doubling every 15 years and as it looks now, it will be even faster in the future:

“Airports today are faced with huge challenges. They need to increase throughput, increase safety, and they need make sure they to do it in the most efficient way,” Christian Onselaere says. Per-Olof Hammarlund continues: “Before, airports were able to expand by building new infrastructure at the airport such as building new runways and terminals, but this is no longer possible for many airports since they are constrained by land and environment and a lot of other issues.”

Airports today need to be much more efficient, which is where ADB Safegate plays an important role. With our joint expertise, knowledge and the experience we have among our personnel, we can ease the headache of our customers and build ADB Safegate to the next level. With the ADB Safegate name, we assure our customers that we will continue to provide great value, great products and services in the future.

Since the early days of aviation, air traffic controllers (ATCO) have suffered from a high number of screens, mimic panels and multiple input devices. The controller is forced to create a mental image of the total situation on the airfield and take appropriate action based on this mental image. With thousands of flights each day this is a very challenging task and the controller will not always be able to make the most optimal decision.
