Air Partner company Redline wins new 3-year contract with
Guernsey Airport
Company also secures renewals with Birmingham and Belfast
International Airports
Redline , an Air Partner company and a leading provider of
global security solutions, has further grown its customer base in
the airport sector, recently winning a new 3-year contract with
Guernsey Airport to carry out cabin baggage screening x-ray threat
image recognition training (TIRT) among a number of its staff.
Contract renewals have also been secured with existing airport
customers in a demonstration of continued trust in Redline's
services. Birmingham Airport has extended its TIRT contract while
Belfast International Airport has renewed its contract for
Redline's security management system (SeMS), having seen the
benefits the system offers when it was used during a prior Quality
Assurance project at the airport.
These business wins have contributed to Redline's strong start
in the second half of Air Partner's financial year, alongside good
sales for its Department for Transport (DfT) training courses and
another TIRT contract renewal with World Courier, a specialist
medical logistics company. In total, Redline has now secured 17
contract wins and 19 renewals since joining the Air Partner group
in December 2019.
Redline is currently seeing a good level of demand for its
user-friendly and technically sophisticated COVID-19 secure TIRT
system, which has been designed to finetune x-ray image screeners'
ability to detect even the smallest components of viable threats.
Its proprietary SeMS, which allows managers to effectively assess
and manage risk in an ever-changing threat environment, is also
gaining good traction with customers: earlier in the year, Redline
was appointed to develop and deliver a robust SeMS for ISS
Australia and New Zealand, the first of its kind in Australia.
Mark Briffa, CEO of Air Partner, commented: "Redline secured a
number of good business wins with a diverse range of customers
throughout the first half of the year, including the UK Civil
Aviation Authority and Align JV to support on an HS2 project. I am
very pleased to see this momentum continue into H2, with airports
continuing to place their trust in us and invest in our services.
The level of contract wins and renewals we are seeing serves to
demonstrate the quality of Redline's varied security solutions, and
the value they offer both new and existing customers."
Paul Mason, Managing Director of Air Partner's Safety &
Security division, added: "Redline's service offering continues to
gain traction with airports, among others. Our threat image
recognition training and security management system offerings are
industry-leading, and we look forward to rolling them out to even
more customers in the coming months and years to further bolster
their security capabilities."
