Stopping These Common Bad Delivery Practices
|
Solving Security & Safety Issues Associated with Material Deliveries Supplier trucks and parcel carriers are no longer operating around the terminal and on the ramp around aircraft. After a proactive and layered security inspection process, the material is put-away in a 100% highly secure environment. The re-distribution of material to terminal end-users is being performed by highly trained and security cleared/badged Bradford staff. They are delivering back to the terminal utilizing Bradford’s Virtual Secure Material Delivery Tunnel. As a result, more than one hundred delivery personnel are replaced with just a few Bradford staff. As a matter of prudence and enhanced protection of the traveler’s safety as well as critical airport infrastructures, the Centralized Receiving and Distribution Center is a proactive, thorough, and cost-effective way to reduce an airport’s vulnerability to a truck bomb and smuggling prohibited items into the secure side of the airport through the supplier material delivery process. |
