The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and ensuing global response, has directly effected almost every sector worldwide. But nowhere is the impact of the international lockdown more keenly felt than within the aviation industry.
Since lockdown measures were first introduced in March of this year, global air traffic has fallen by a staggering 90%, with several major airlines requesting government bailouts to remain afloat.
With the majority of airlines still running a skeleton service, thousands of aeroplanes across the world remain grounded. In the face of this costly measure, airlines are taking the opportunity to carry out vital servicing and maintenance across their fleet – ensuring flights can resume as quickly and safely as possible, once measures are eased.
That’s why ZARGES, one of Europe’s leading access technology and logistics solutions specialists, has launched a new brochure for the aviation sector. ZARGES provides a full range of products and services for airlines looking to undertake important maintenance work on their assets, including access steps and fuselage docking systems.
Leading ZARGES’s offering to the aviation sector is its unbeatable range of universal, fixed height and adjustable maintenance steps. Adaptable for use in a wider range of aircrafts, ZARGES universal steps deliver easy handling, manoeuvrability and weather resistance, and can be assembled in a matter of minutes. With the needs of aviation engineers front of mind during the design process, the steps also feature an extended working platform with a retractable, swivelling guardrail; ensuring maximum safety for users.
ZARGES has also invested in its aircraft docking provision for both civilian and military aircraft. ZARGES’s nose-to-tail docking system includes several small modules which are suitable for multi or single aircraft types, with exact design and configuration dependent on customer requirement and to ensure optimum fit with the specification contours (including engine and table shape) of individual aircraft.
And, as airlines look ahead to resuming more regular flight schedules, ZARGES is on hand to support with its range of universal refuelling steps. Adaptable for all aircraft types, ZARGES’s refuelling steps range guarantee fast, convenient and, most importantly, safe refuelling, with the steps precision engineered to be resistant of wind speeds up to 8 Beaufort.
