Phase one of the Aéroport Marseille Provence baggage handling system project was completed in November 2023, with 56 check-ins and two sortation lines now in operation. Commissioning was achieved in just six months—a testament to the dedication of the 60-member Alstef Group team, whose commitment and professionalism were unwavering. Collaboration with subcontractors and the support of VINCI Construction and GTM SUD facilitated logistical efficiency and streamlined the project’s progression.

Alstef Group’s continued dedication to excellence and innovation underscores the project’s success and the significance of collaboration, technology, and steadfast commitment.
