Herbert Frank Edinburgh Airport has selected ABM to deliver integrated facilities management (IFM) services across its estate for three-year contract.
The contract expands ABM UK & Ireland’s facility services offering to the aviation sector in the United Kingdom and Ireland, where it already delivers cabin cleaning, ground handling, special assistance, bussing, airside cargo management, security and passenger experience services for 17 airports, over 40 airlines, Transport for London and Dublin Bus.
A key differentiator in ABM bid was the integration of its proprietary innovative smart cleaning and service intelligence platform, ABM Connect for Aviation. Designed and built in-house, ABM Connect for Aviation, uses real-time data and intelligent automation to allocate resources and measure cleaning quality, transforming how ABM drive efficiency and service delivery.
ABM’s integration of data intelligence and smart cleaning innovation demonstrates a clear commitment to delivering quality and efficiency — values that align closely with our own. We look forward to building a strong partnership.
