Vertical Lifting Hangar Doors

You don’t see any jumbo jets or other large passenger planes at the small Altiport de Courchevel airport. But you can see all the more smaller jet planes, helicopters and other lighter flight equipment. The Courchevel city located in the French Alps at an elevation of two kilometers is especially favored by the world’s jetset. People interested in downhill skiing and after-ski, who are familiar with using money, demand absolute first class from their purchased services. That is why the City of Courchevel purchased three doors from Champion Door in Finland for the hangars in their airport.

Three NK2 Double doors were installed into the hangar with a turnkey delivery. The doors are 14.2 meters wide and 6.2 meters high, just the right size for a private jet plane or helicopter.

For normal Champion Door installation work abroad, only the job supervisor is from the factory. But for this job, the City of Courchevel wanted the installation to be done by the professional Finnish installation staff. The doors were installed at the beginning of autumn so that for the next downhill skiing season, the valuable planes can be easily put under cover from the cold and snow of the mountain. The temperature differences at the Courchevel airport are quite wide, to counterbalance the frosts of January, the temperature in July rises easily above 30 degrees Celsius. This poses very high demands for the functionality of the door.

Champion Door has earned the reputation of a reliable door supplier and, being a small and flexible family business, it is able to fulfill the special requirements of customers. A balanced and person-focused discussion during offer preparation and when agreeing on the terms of sale minimize misunderstandings. Going through the customer’s needs carefully and in an easygoing way guarantees the best possible results for both parties.
