Reliance Aviation Services Limited has been appointed sole contracted provider of aviation security services at London City Airport.
The initial three year contract will involve the provision of a range of aviation security services including: vehicle check point security, staff searches, hand baggage screening, hold baggage screening and airport patrols. London City airport saw a rise of 12 per cent in its passenger numbers in 2008 over those in 2007. This positive trend is expected to increase in the run up to the 2012 Olympics.
Reliance Aviation was awarded the contract based on what the company calls the solid industry experience and training of its management team, its operational support structure, commitment to customer service and people development, and the success of its work at Exeter International Airport. Around 50 security staff have TUPE transferred to Reliance under the contract.
Adrian Lee, General Manager of Reliance Aviation, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this high profile contract and are committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure that London City’s unique passenger base receives a first class service."
