Purpose of the market consultation
Snow removal equipment is a critical component of airport operations, particularly in regions with cold and snowy winters. At Schiphol Airport, snow and ice can cause significant disruptions to flight schedules, passenger flow, and overall airport efficiency. Therefore, having reliable and effective snow removal equipment is essential to ensure safe and efficient airport operations during winter weather conditions.
Our Runway Sweepers, that are part of the Snow Removal Equipment, are used to clear runways and taxiways of snow, allowing aircraft to take off and land safely. In addition to ensuring flight safety, effective snow removal also reduces the risk of damage to aircraft and ground support equipment, as well as the risk of slip and fall accidents for airport personnel and passengers.
Furthermore, with the increasing focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility, there is a growing need for snow removal equipment that is energy-efficient and low-emission. New technologies, such as electrification, hydrogen and autonomous systems, are emerging as promising solutions to improve the sustainability and efficiency of snow removal operations at airports.
Snow removal equipment is an essential investment for airports like Schiphol Airport, and we are committed to identifying the most effective and sustainable solutions for our winter operations. We invite organizations with expertise in snow removal equipment to participate in our market consultation and share their insights and solutions with us.
The information gained during this market consultation procedure will be used as a basis for the European tender procedure for new runway sweepers that will be conducted by Schiphol in the second half of 2023.
