CHICAGO, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JBT
Corporation (NYSE: JBT) today announced that its JBT AeroTech
business has been awarded a contract to supply gate equipment for
the Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport, in Bucharest, Romania. The contract, placed by
Romairport S.R.L., a company of the Italian construction group
Astaldi S.p.A., includes the supply of 9 new Jetway® passenger
boarding bridges, 11 Jetpower® ground power units and 11 JetAire®
pre-conditioned air units.
With five existing Jetway® passenger boarding bridges within the
terminal, this new order is a vital part of the facilities' Phase
III Development and Modernization Plan. This plan provides for new
facilities to accommodate increases in passenger traffic to 6
million passengers per year. In addition, the facilities will be
reorganized to allow for the borderless flow of passengers within
Europe to comply with Schengen
standards.
"We are very pleased to expand upon our relationship with the
Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport," said John Lee, Vice President and Division Manager,
JBT AeroTech. "With this contract, any passenger embarking or
disembarking a flight in Bucharest, via a boarding bridge, will
continue to do so solely on a JBT-manufactured Jetway® passenger
boarding bridge."
JBT AeroTech anticipates completing installation of its portion
of the project in the fourth quarter of 2010, prior to the
