LATEST ISSUE
WINTER 2016
Welcome to the Winter 2016 issue of Airside International. The big recent news in the UK was its government’s decision to opt for a new runway at Heathrow in an effort to meet the country’s air capacity crunch, a move that was met with the mix of delight, anger and consternation on the part of various parties that had been predicted by all.
As well as the usual coverage of a range of challenges and concerns facing airport operators today, we talk in this issue to handler AeroGround Flughafen München’s fleet manager about GSE management and to Glasgow Prestwick about its big plans for the future.
