12 October 2011: The summer is traditionally a very busy time for airlines and service companies supporting them and this year that has definitely been true for Menzies Aviation, who have seen their ground handling services expand across their London airport locations – Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Not only that but they have also embarked on a project to deploy CT-DECT wireless headsets at Gatwick to create a hands-free push-back process led by communications supplier AirRadio.

Over the last 6 Months AirRadio has supported Menzies and their airline clients and aircraft manufacturer Airbus during a trial of the headsets that enabled them to evaluate and understand both the wireless technology and the changes required to operational procedures before implementation.

AirRadio has provided ASIG with over 60 radio devices at Heathrow made up of hand-portables, desk and vehicle radios including specialist GMC (ground movement control) radios.
