An airport in Puerto Rico has added a new ARFF vehicle to its fleet.
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport has acquired an Oshkosh Striker® 6×6 ARFF.
Advanced ARFF capability
The airport in San Juan is Puerto Rico’s main aviation gateway and the busiest airport in the Caribbean.
Last year, it saw in 13.5 million passengers. The airport manages a highly complex airfield environment demanding precise coordination and continuous operational vigilance.
These operational requirements highlight the necessity of maintaining advanced, reliable and mission-ready ARFF capabilities to ensure the airport’s resilience, regulatory compliance and effective response to a wide range
of emergency scenarios.
Robert Colon, Associate Manager International Sales at Oshkosh Airport Products, said: “Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport has been a trusted partner for many years, and their commitment to preparedness and operational excellence continues to stand out across the region.”
