HUB SAFE Group

What HUB SAFE Group does

HUB SAFE is a French airport security services operator structured as a SAS with €2,537,000 in registered capital and headquartered in Tremblay-en-France. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Groupe ADP, the operator of the Paris airports, and was rebranded from Alyzia Sûreté to HUB SAFE in 2015. The company provides passenger and baggage screening, access control, and cynotechnical (K-9) explosive and prohibited-article detection services at six French airports: Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Paris-Le Bourget, Nantes Atlantique, Bordeaux, and Lyon Saint-Exupéry.

Its service portfolio spans airport security, cynotechnie (50+ detection teams), complex-site security, and certified training delivered through the DGAC-certified HUB SAFE Training subsidiary. Operations rely on regulated processes under DGAC oversight, ISO 20 121-aligned quality frameworks, and required administrative authorizations; K-9 units are also deployed for specialized tasks such as abandoned-luggage response at CDG. The training subsidiary doubles as an internal pipeline for certified screening personnel.

The business model is B2B and contract-based, with revenues generated through public tenders and direct multi-year engagements (typically 3–6 years) with airport operators and adjacent infrastructure clients. The primary customer is the parent group Groupe ADP under the SIAE framework for Paris platforms, supplemented by regional airport contracts won at Nantes, Bordeaux, and Lyon. Go-to-market is dominated by tendered procurement in a regulated environment, with workforce (security agents, cynotechnicians, certified trainers) representing the principal cost base and value driver.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ISS A/S: Global facility-services group offering integrated security services including at airports and large public venues. Wider portfolio than HUB SAFE but competes on airport contracts; useful benchmark for European multi-service competitors.
• Prosegur: Spanish-headquartered global security group with an aviation-security arm serving European airports. Comparable in offering integrated manned security, screening and technology, though broader than HUB SAFE's aviation-focused book.
• Brink's Incorporated: Global secure-logistics and security services provider, with airport-relevant capabilities in secure transportation and certain security services. Competes in adjacent sub-segments of aviation security rather than core screening.
• G4S / Allied Universal: Largest global security services companies with deep airport-security bids across Europe. Compete with HUB SAFE in French public tenders and provide a benchmark for incumbent scale, though operate broadly across many verticals beyond aviation.
• Securitas Aviation Services: Global security incumbent with a dedicated aviation services division providing airport screening, cargo and terminal security solutions at airports across Europe and globally. Comparable in that it bids on the same public airport tenders HUB SAFE wins in France, though it operates at vastly larger global scale.

Emerging players

• Sodexo Sécurité: Global facility-services player whose security arm targets aviation, sensitive-site and event security contracts. Operates as a broader multi-service competitor rather than a focused airport-security specialist.

Direct peers

• Samsic Sécurité: Sister entity within the broader Samsic/Groupe ADP ecosystem, providing airport security services in France including partnering with HUB SAFE on airport forums and CSR initiatives. Operates internationally and shares the same regulated French airport-security customer base, making it the closest comparable direct peer.
• ICTS Europe: Specialist aviation-security services provider offering airport passenger screening, cargo security and behavioral detection across major European airports. Operates as a pure-play airport security peer with similar regulatory dependencies and K9/cynotechnie offerings in select markets.
• Onet Sécurité: French security-services operator providing manned guarding, airport security and surveillance to French public and private customers. Comparable regional peer competing for the same regulated French tenders.
• Atalian Sécurité: Major French facility-services group with a dedicated manned-security division that competes for the same French airport and sensitive-site contracts as HUB SAFE. Comparable in geographic scope and customer overlap.
