Aviramp®: Revolutionizing Accessible Boarding Since 2010

Aviramp® delivers height-adjustable remote stand boarding ramps and bridges to airports and airlines throughout the United States and North America. Our journey began in 2010 when a client saw our aluminium access ramps for disabled access and commercial applications, along with portable aircraft steps we had supplied to the Middle East. When asked if we could design a ramp to assist passengers with reduced mobility disembarking from aircraft parked on remote stands, our answer was simple: “Yes.”
We’re enormously proud to have teamed up with Delta Air Lines and US charity the Best Defense Foundation to honor veterans who took part in the D-Day landings more than 80 years ago. We’ve donated an International ramp to Deauville Airport in Normandy so that veterans can arrive in style for as long as commemorations continue.

Who We Serve

Aviramp supports airlines, airports, and ground handling providers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond with accessible, step-free aircraft boarding solutions. Our boarding ramps are in service all across the globe, including Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands, supporting operations at major international hubs and regional airports alike.

From London Heathrow and Dallas Fort Worth to Toronto Pearson, Sydney Airport, and Singapore Changi, Aviramp is helping improve accessibility, operational efficiency, and passenger experience for both PRM and non-PRM travelers. Our ramps are trusted by commercial airports, regional operators, and aviation service providers worldwide as a cost-effective alternative to traditional aircraft stairs and ambulifts.

Innovative Testing

With support from easyJet’s Ground Support Management, we developed and tested an aviation-grade product at Bristol Airport. Our focus was on assessing static and wind loading capacity while identifying the ideal slope angle for wheelchair operators, based on a 206-pound passenger load.

Exceeding Expectations

Our first trial surpassed expectations — the initial test passenger, who typically required an Ambulift, successfully walked independently down the ramp’s low-angled slopes.

Global Installations and Success

Our first commercial installations took place at Pierrefonds Airport in La Reunion, Perpignan Airport in France, and Dallas Fort Worth in the USA. These locations quickly purchased additional units after seeing significant improvements in passenger handling.

A Global Solution for Passenger Boarding

Today, Aviramp® provides a full range of height-adjustable remote stand passenger boarding ramps and bridges, trusted by airlines, ground handlers, and airports worldwide.

Benefits for capital:

  • Dedicated boarding access for catering and crew.
  • Zero additional infrastructure costs for increased passenger and PRM capacity.
  • Reduced passenger injury claims.

Passenger Benefits:

  • Safe queuing on the ramp instead of tarmac.
  • Equal access for wheelchair users and PRMs.
  • Safer boarding for parents with babies and young children.
  • Faster boarding for elderly passengers.
  • Seamless, all-inclusive step-free experience.
This step-free boarding setup showcases a thoughtful approach to inclusive travel, ensuring that passengers with mobility aids, strollers, or heavy luggage can board the aircraft comfortably and safely without the need for stairs or lifts. The ramp is constructed with smooth, non-slip surfaces and sturdy handrails on either side, providing stability and confidence for all users. Its wide design accommodates various mobility devices, such as wheelchairs and walkers, seamlessly integrating accessibility into the boarding process. The clear signage and organized layout demonstrate the airport’s commitment to universal design principles, making air travel accessible for everyone regardless of physical ability. Passengers appear relaxed and confident as they walk onto the aircraft, highlighting a positive and welcoming travel environment. This kind of infrastructure not only enhances passenger experience but also promotes greater independence and dignity for travellers with disabilities or limited mobility. Overall, it’s a great example of how airports and airlines are prioritizing inclusivity in modern aviation.
We have had good feedback from passengers, they have really helped passengers to take to remote stand operations here.” Airlines, having been more than encouraging of Sea-Tac to find ways to improve customer service vis-à-vis remote stand operations, have also been happy with the results.
