Punta Cana International Airport is one of the latest to trial these unique patented boarding ramps and bridges. After trialling an international and a continental, ground handling company Aviam Ltd now have a total of 19 units of their own, comprising 13 continentals and 4 internationals, including purchasing both trial units!
Given the urgency of their requirement, we manufactured consistently and installed in phases from March through to July with 3 dedicated Aviramp engineers in situ.
The main reasons for this urgency to act and its implementation of multiple units, was down to several factors. Firstly, the layout of PUJ, the airport format made it difficult to install fixed connecting terminal bridges, compounded by the increasing volumes of PRMs so an alternative had to be found! But what product could do both? Moreover, stairs and ambulift could not cope with this increasing demand, so Aviramp presented an ideal proposition for their respective reduction and elimination and delivered all the KPIs required. Furthermore, the benefits in driving turnaround efficiencies, alleviating difficult capacity issues and facilitating AC parking lots at peak times; these were highly compelling reasons for investing heavily in Aviramp!
Punta Cana International flies into 97 cities, connecting with 28 countries in total, working with 81 airlines flying in and out of the airport and handling 500 flights every week! So it is a busy airport. All airlines now use Aviramp at Punta Cana and aircraft types range from CRJs through to the A380!
Another great case study for Aviramp! And another real time illustration of the multiple benefits Aviramp delivers!

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.
This white paper discusses the hardware deployed, the test results and the annualized expectations for ROI.
