Airport Show: For bright sparks at Tensator its a walk in the dark

Airports focusing on safety of passengers at remote stands were looking a new product from UK's Tensator Group at the Airport Show in Dubai – a nigh-glow passenger guidance system for disembarding the aircraft to a bus or a walk to the terminal.

Due to be officially launched later this month ‘Tensabright” was demonstrated to Dubai visitors
The new retractable belt barrier uses prismatic reflective tape to create the world’s first hi-vis belt. Due to the use of micro-prisms, it returns the light straight back to the original light source, ensuring high visibility and creating a glow-in-the-dark effect.
The airport passenger guidance (APG) is used to safely direct passengers on and off planes, whilst avoiding the potentially dangerous under-wing areas.
Abdel Aziz Rahal, general manager of Tensator Group Dubai, said: “The Dubai Airport Show provided the perfect global stage for us to offer the first glimpse of, what is, an innovative world-class product.
“We help to guide the passenger and customer journey at some of the biggest and busiest transport hubs and retail destinations in the world. Above all else, we know that the most important part of that journey is safety.
“Tensabright is an innovative yet simple solution and, for airport operators, it is destined to make the boarding and disembarking process even safer. Particularly at night and in poor weather conditions, passengers will be able to clearly see the safest route between the terminal building and the aircraft.”
