Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) is situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island and receives more than six million passengers a year. It is New Zealand’s second largest airport and the busiest and most strategic air connection from the South Island to the world’s trade and tourism markets. With such high numbers of passengers going through the airport, providing a safe and secure environment is an important part of CIAL’s vision to be recognised as New Zealand’s leading tourism gateway.
In a legislation driven airport environment, CIAL is mandated by a number of Civil Aviation rules and regulations to provide control and monitoring of all access to restricted security areas. Gallagher protects all primary areas of aviation activity within the airport -terminal, airfield, support buildings and infrastructure. The Gallagher perimeter security system provides monitored electrical fencing for a small section of CIAL’s 16km of fence line protecting more than 300 hectares of land.
