Hello folks,
I'm doing a course: 'BTEC National Diploma in Aviation Ops' and currently/will be learning about all aspects of 'operations' at an airport, e.g. ramp handling, airport emergency ops, health and safety. A visit to an airport (landside/airside) would be hugely beneficial to let us see behind the scenes or what you don't see as a passenger.
I know due to unfortunate events of the past decade that security is a tight as ever, but I'm thinking at least one airport still do escorted tours..?
Do BAA airports do escorted tours, or is it easier at the smaller airports like Biggin/Southend? Heathrow would be first choice as its nearest and the biggest.
Cargo:
Do cargo companies do tours of their facilities (at the airports, e.g. Stansted)?
Thanks in advance
