Fulfilling a long-awaited need within the company’s aviation portfolio that includes Ground Handling International and Ramp Equipment News, Air Logistics International was launched in 2018. Its coverage is wide, embracing as it does shippers, forwarders, handlers, carriers and even some of the machinery that goes to make the cargo operation the success story that it is. Technology updates, as well as the march of digitalisation and e-commerce, all come in for regular comment. Equally, readers will encounter opinion pieces from senior figures within the industry as well as contributed articles on a range of topics from knowledgeable freight specialists.
For over 25 years Ground Handling International has been at the very heart of business on the airport ramp. Read by key personnel from handling companies, airports, airlines and GSE manufacturers, it continues to deliver targeted material on ground handling on a global scale. Published six times a year, it is available both in print and digitally, while the GHI website keeps readers regularly informed about the latest news and developments in the sector.
The success of Ground Handling International magazine has allowed the creation of a number of highly specialised and well-regarded annual conferences, as well as the launch of two sister aviation magazines.
Aiming to cater for the ramp in its widest context, Ramp Equipment News is now celebrating its eighth year of production. During this time we have adhered to the recipe that has proved successful, namely that of offering the magazine in both on-line and printed format, so that readers can benefit to the maximum.
The aviation sector still proves to be a challenging environment for those involved in it, whether in the sky or on the ground. Fuel spikes, labor concerns, bankruptcy and ever-increasing levels of competition are merely some of the ingredients in the mixture: overshadowing all this, though, is the ongoing recession that has obliged many within the business to look anew at their operating models.
Ramp Equipment News looks at all that is novel and new on the ramp and, where possible, questions received wisdom. After all, just because a procedure or format has been followed for years does not mean to say that it is the only acceptable method in attaining a pre-determined end. Thus the reader will find articles covering topics such as alternative power, the influence of IT at today’s airport, environmental issues, ramp safety practices, telematics and passenger processing, now and in the future. Time doesn’t stand still in this industry sector, and for that reason alone no two years’ content is ever the same.
Ramp Equipment News is also proud to be part of the industry’s new body, the International Airport Equipment Manufacturers’ Association, which is making its mark on the GSE sector.
To end on a publicity note, Ramp Equipment News will be distributed at major events in North America as well as elsewhere in the world, thereby giving you a chance to maximise your product’s exposure.
