The introduction of airside services at Gatwick by ASC Handling follows the company’s recent signing of an agreement to support charter airline, TUI.
The Gatwick contract is a significant expansion of Rushlift GSE’s seven year business relationship with ASC Handling, supplying specialist airside equipment to the company’s Heathrow operations under a long term leasing and maintenance arrangement.
Provision of the extensive range of vehicles at Gatwick, which includes pushback tugs, trailers, baggage carts, powered beltloaders, high-loaders and cars, was negotiated and co-ordinated within a tight timeframe, between Christmas 2019 and a deadline of March 4 2020. To ensure a smooth transition, a team of Rushlift GSE engineers, supervisors and managers, up to director level, were on station throughout the night prior to the deadline.
