Certis announced
today that its Australian subsidiary, SNP Security (SNP) has been awarded the
contract to provide passenger and baggage screening services at Adelaide
Airport for three years, starting 18 March 2019. Adelaide Airport is the
fifth-largest domestic airport and the sixth-largest international airport in
Australia. It is the aviation gateway to South Australia and processes more
than eight million passengers annually.
This latest win adds to the growing
portfolio under Certis, which has a sterling track record in managing airports across
Asia. Certis has a combined expertise of international aviation experience
spanning Singapore, Australia and the Middle East, managing key gateway
airports such as Singapore Changi Airport, Sydney International Airport and the Hamad International Airport. In addition, Certis is backed by a rich security
heritage, and has strong expertise in delivering mission-critical security
operations. Certis also secures sensitive key installations, major retail
malls, healthcare institutions and transport hubs.
SNP’s demonstration of its ability to
achieve high standards of performance, safety and customer service through best
practice methods and systems won it the Adelaide Airport contract. SNP will
support the Adelaide community by extending access to its world-class training,
internationally recognised aviation security credentials, and technology-led
security solutions.
As part of Certis, Asia’s leading
advanced integrated security services provider, SNP will leverage its
operations-technology (ops-tech) methodology to develop and deploy new mobile
technology tailored to Adelaide Airport’s own screening station requirements. The
new system will deliver improved operational efficiencies, enhanced user
experience and analytics capabilities.
The addition of Adelaide Airport into Certis’ Australian Aviation
portfolio positions it as a leading provider of security in the local aviation
market. Tom Roche, Senior Managing
Director of Certis Australia said, “As a fast growing major airport, Adelaide
Airport is an important win for our business. We look forward to leveraging our
50 years of aviation security experience and enhancing it with Certis’ proven
advanced technology capabilities. We look forward to partnering with Adelaide
Airport to deliver superior security services.”
