In October 2012 Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow, Russia, decided to outsource its operations for baggage handling on Terminal D to Vanderlande Industries. With this operations contract Vanderlande’s services scope on Sheremetyevo Airport has expanded.
For the last two years, the company was already responsible for the maintenance on the baggage handling and screening systems of Sheremetyevo, Terminal D. The satisfaction on the current performance and the trust in the site-based team convinced the Airport to award the Operations contract to Vanderlande Industries.
With a growth in baggage numbers of over 20% there is also a growing need for a better and more efficient baggage handling performance. With Vanderlande performing both operations and maintenance, Sheremetyevo Airport is ready for the future and to keep her leading role in Russia.
Mr Igor Fruslov, Deputy Head of Operations (OPS) Department at Sheremetyevo Airport, says: "We are very satisfied with the professional and efficient way Vanderlande is executing Operations already and look forward to the improvements in baggage handling that will be achieved with this synergy."
