On the other side of the fence and hemisphere
London-headquartered aerospace logistics provider B&H Worldwide has obtained airside licences for its drivers to operate vehicles at both Auckland (AKL) and Christchurch (CHC) airports in New Zealand.
After undertaking and passing tests which include showing a full understanding of airside driving and what to do in an emergency, team members working in both cities now have airside licences.
Passing the airside exam and achieving airside driving permits (ADP) means the company can now provide secure airside delivery to its airline customers’ engineers for their urgent AOG/routine delivery needs. It no longer has to rely on third party operators to provide the service. In Auckland the company will operate a 3.5 t truck with tail lift, while at Christchurch a 1.5t vehicle with tail lift will be deployed. (ah)
