Stable and Reliable AODB and FIDS systems at TORP Sandefjord Airport – A PDC Case Study

Reliable and cost efficient systems

Previously TORP Sandefjord got their systems through Norwegian state-owned airport operator, Avinor. When Avinor decided to change provider it was replaced by costly systems that were not suitable for TORP Sandefjord Airport.

When looking for a new provider, three different offers where considered to make an informed decision. PDC suggested a simple solution and a reliable system that was close to what they had before but at the same time cost efficient for an airport with 62 monitors to inform 2.2 M PAX per year.

TORP Sandefjord Airport has been a PDC customer since January 2015 when TORP Sandefjord acquired the PDC AODB and PDC FIDS systems.

TORP Sandefjord already collaborated with PDC and the existing relationship made PDC an evident option. The already established trust, the robustness of the systems and the good and unproblematic connection were the basis for choosing PDC as their provider.

“When deciding to switch provider, PDC was price efficient and delivered reliable systems. We checked three different providers and chose PDC”
