Westminster Group is pleased to announce that it has signed a 15+ year, multi-million USD contract for security services to four airports in the Gabonese Republic (“Gabon”).
Contracts were officially signed during the General Assembly of the National Council for Security and Facilitation of the Civil Aviation of Gabon in Libreville by representatives of Westminster and the Ministry of Transport, in the presence of various government officials and dignitaries.
The contract, which is for an initial period of 15 years with a 5-year renewal thereafter, is to provide comprehensive ground security operations at three international airports and one domestic airport within Gabon.
Westminster will provide the investment and expertise required to upgrade security at the airports. This not only includes the provision of advanced detection, surveillance, and screening equipment, but also the maintenance, training and various support services required to ensure Gabon’s airport security is run to the highest international standards. Thereby assisting the authorities develop and maintain world-class airport security services, opening up the potential for growth in air traffic by attracting new international carriers and commercial enterprises to the region.
Commenting on the Contract Award Westminster’s CEO, Peter Fowler, said:
“Gabon,situated on the Atlantic coast of Central Africa, has one of the highest per capita incomes in Africa and became a member of the British Commonwealth in 2022. I look forward to Westminster having a long-term presence in the country and in playing our part in the successful growth and security of the country’s airports.
“I am delighted to be able to announce this latest long-term managed services security contract in Francophone Africa, which adds four more airports to our growing portfolio of airport operations around the world.”
