FAAC sliding door operators installed at Glasgow airport
With over seven million passengers passing through Glasgow airport's doors each year, reliability and safety are paramount when specifying a door automation system.
FAAC sliding door operators have now been installed at three major entry points at one of Scotland’s busiest airport. As part of Glasgow airport’s security upgrade, following the terrorist attack in 2007, FAAC’s 930 electromechanical operator was chosen to replace the existing system at departures, domestic arrivals and international arrivals.
Designed to operate on each occasion and in every environment, the 930 operator is highly reliable without limits on the frequency of use and requires minimal maintenance.
