The new contract adds London Gatwick, Birmingham and Bristol International to the list of airports already supported by Airline Services and represents an increase of approximately 50% in the number of easyJet aircraft serviced by ASL.
Nick Whinder ASL Director Ramp Operations commented: “The extended periods of sub-zero temperatures during winter 2008/9 were a severe test of the UK’s de-icing providers. We have worked with easyJet for a number of years and the expansion of our contract is testament to the consistently reliable and professional service that ASL provides to all its customers.”
Airline Services will provide de-icing expertise on easyJet’s fleet including A319, A320, A321 and B737-700 aircraft. ASL now has representation at nine UK airports: Birmingham, Bristol International, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle.
Headquartered at Manchester Airport, Airline Services Ltd has been established for more than 20 years as a leading provider of support services to the airline industry in the UK including exterior washing, carpet manufacture and installation, interior cleaning, aviation laundry, seat cover and curtain manufacture and maintenance. Airline Services is the UK’s largest independent de-icing supplier, providing a reliable and professional aircraft de-icing service to more than 50 domestic and international carriers across nine of the country’s major airports.
Airline Services operates an on-going investment programme which guarantees the best de-icing equipment, infrastructure and dedicated manpower available in the UK. The company employs more than 120 personnel to operate its modern fleet of 45 de-icing rigs, equipped for anti-icing as well as de-icing. The operation is based on the bulk storage of mixed fluid, maintained at optimum temperature, for immediate use.
Airline Services currently sits on the European De-icing Steering Group alongside major UK & European carriers and governing bodies such as the CAA.
