Rosenbauer International AG secured a contract from Dubai Airports and received a large-scale order for 22 PANTHER 8x8 airport firefighting vehicles and three turntable ladder vehicles E8000/3000 for deployment at Dubai International (DXB).
The agreement also includes a service contract over several years.
“I am proud that the quality of our products and services has once again provided a convincing argument and we were chosen to support Dubai Airports with Austrian extinguishing technology”, says Dieter Siegel, CEO of Rosenbauer International AG. “The international airport safety regulations are very stringent and Rosenbauer possesses extensive expertise in this field. We are very pleased about the continued collaboration.”
“After an extensive procurement exercise Dubai Airports is delighted to partner with Rosenbauer to be our exclusive supplier of fire rescue vehicles across Dubai International and Dubai World Central”, says Darren Williams, Vice President, Airside Service Delivery at Dubai Airports. “Our partnership will reinforce Dubai Airports’ commitment to the safety of those travelling through our airports and ensure our operational teams are provided with the very best equipment from a respected global supplier.”
In terms of passenger figures, DXB is the world’s busiest international airport and the passenger volume is growing steadily. DXB has been relying on Rosenbauer airport firefighting vehicles since the end of the 1980s, a PANTHER-fleet of altogether ten vehicles being in use today.
