Me too surely not, but it appears to only be a small 'a' when used as a trade mark; ie as written in the company logo. Their website uses a large 'A' when writing the name in normal type fonts....see here

Just to clarify, two separate types of insurance have been mentioned ramp handlers and airside contractors.
The main exposure for ramp handlers is the physical risk of damaging aircraft with vehicles, airbridge etc. Airside contractors pose a much broader spectrum of risk - including potholes, uncovered drains, static and mobile plant. Then there is the worry of debris a few years back there was a big claim resulting from a rake left laying in the grass beside a re-opened taxiway. Aircraft wheels run along the taxiway but the wings overhang the grass and a rake makes a horrible noise when its ingested by an RB 211.....

wrenchbender, came back to HK on VS 200 on 26th July. Captain commented that we were flying A340-300 'cos assigned A340-600 was "out of service".........possibly that was the tailstrike aircraft.Where can I get more details of that incident ?

mr Q, the story was related by a colleague of mine that the Virgin -600 was ferried unpressurized from the States to YUL for repairs at Air Canada facilities. Don't know the details of the tail-strike, but I would be interested in learning them too. Haven't seen anything on the NTSB site. Keep your ears open.

A Servisair tug?
Aviance do the babyminding at CWL, and I am sure they have their own tugs.... does this add a nasty twist in terms of liability to the whole deal?

Just to clarify,
Airways Handling have exclusive contract on baggage at CWL so they would have been loading the baggage, Aviance do the rest. I belive it was one of the Airways vehicles (they are still in the old servisair markings) although both companies vehicles would have been around the aircraft.
