SPRING 2016
Welcome to the Spring 2016 issue of Airside International, which includes features on GSE including high lifts and loaders, tracking systems and how one particular national airport operator is making the most of green engine technology. From an airport operator’s point of view, we assess the challenges of runway maintenance and habitat management – a subject of ever growing importance in our environmentally conscious world. Airside talks to Air Canada about quick aircraft turnarounds, to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson about facilities management and to Gazpromneft Aero about its rapid growth in the field of on-airport refuelling.
