| Birmingham Airport is running a number of safety events this week as part of the "UK Airports Safety Week" which is organised by the AOA - the Airport Operators Association. At the event held on South Pier Stand 13 on Monday 8 May 2017 members of Airport staff were able to experience a trip in Swissport's latest state of the art de-icing rig that can reach to the top of the tail of an Emirates Airbus A380.... |
 |
| .... and at the same time enjoy a unique view of Birmingham Airport including the terminal building |
 |
| .... the North Pier being fully utilised during a busy lunchtime |
 |
| .... the South Pier and the view to the Runway Extension |
 |
| .... and the view back to the terminal with the BHX yellow "Safety bus" below! |
 |
| So how to you do that!? - first strap up well!! |
 |
| .... give everyone a good wave |
 |
| .... and off you go! |
 |
| .... all the way to the top of an Airbus A380 tail - great fun on a summers day but imagine being up there at night on a cold winters day! The BHX yellow "Safety bus" and the Swissport de-icing rig will be back at North Pier Stand 42R on Thursday 11 May 2017 from 1000 to 1300 - be there! |
