NO REPRO FEE. 25 January 2019
At the unveiling of Cork Airport’s three new state-of-the-art vehicles, which have been added to the airport’s fleet as part of its continued investment in its policing and safety functions are (back l-r) Don Cullinane, David Crowley, (centre l-r) Deirdre O’Donovan, Ciaran Walsh, Kevin Cotter, Sean McSuibhne, Niall MacCarthy, Con Dooney, Andreas Fitzsimmons, and (front) Nathan Wall.
The introduction of a hi-spec John Deere Gator Utility vehicle will improve the ability of the Airport Police Service (APS) to patrol and respond off-road and operate on all terrains during severe weather conditions. The second new addition to the APS fleet is a Skoda Kodiaq 4X4 patrol response vehicle.
In addition, a new dedicated safety vehicle, a Dacia Logan, has been purchased to ensure the continued compliance with new European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations.
All three vehicles have been customised to meet the operational needs of the APS and Safety Department, which are responsible for policing, operational security and safety at Ireland's second busiest international airport.
General Manager of Operations and Safety at Cork Airport, Con Dooney said: “It is fantastic to take delivery of these three new vehicles. They will play an important role in the continued safety and security operations at Cork Airport. This is part of our ongoing work with the EASA to ensure Cork Airport continues to meet the highest standards of aviation safety.”
