Telford, UK – (Aug. 15, 2023) - Aviramp is announcing today its extended range of remote stand aircraft boarding ramps and bridges with the introduction of the 913 series.
The Aviramp 913 series derives its name from the requirements laid out by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in its Airport Handling Manual and in particular Chapter 9: Paragraph AHM 913 Basic Safety Requirements for Aircraft Ground Support Equipment.
Although the general structural design follows the trusted Aviramp, low angled, wheelchair-friendly slopes there have been several additions to the ancillary equipment on-board that include:
“This is another world first for us” says CEO Graham Corfield. “The entire team has worked hard to implement as many requirements as possible of the IATA AHM Chapter 9. Our motivation comes from innovation, passenger-operator experience, and safety. We still offer our standard range of units which many features already comply however we have noticed a particular increase in customers asking whether Aviramp complies, now we can say yes, we have the 913 range.”
The 913 range is being officially launched at this year's International GSE Expo 2023 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
Aviramp leads the way in boarding ramp design and has already taken major steps to offer sustainability-compliant units with the introduction of the range of Solar powered models which includes their largest International wide body unit.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
