SUMMER 2013
Eva International – publisher of Airside International – organises the annual GSE Buyers’ Conference and, this year, it took the decision to include ramp operations in the event, reflecting the inextricable connections between GSE procurement and the vast array of activities that are carried out on the ramp.
Over the course of three days, senior figures within the GSE and ramp operations world came together in the Portuguese capital for an agenda that included presentations and panel discussions on all aspects of the GSE arena and the equipment’s role on the apron. A particular focus this year was on airport winter operations, adding to the topics covered in a varied and fascinating programme.
