Since its inception over 30 years ago, Airline Services has established its position as a market leader in providing aircraft presentation and cabin interior support services to the airline industry. During the mid-eighties/ 1990s, Airline Services developed a solid reputation for service and value for money by offering a flexible, reliable, innovative and low-cost service for exterior washing and
technical cleaning, as well as engineering support. These initial services were boosted by a seat cover and curtain shop. The company expanded rapidly with expansion of the Manchester facilities, and the opening of a number of other UK bases at major and regional airports providing a range of ramp-based services. During this period Airline Services also successfully expanded into aircraft deicing at a number of UK airports. Airline Services Handling – headed by Managing Director Nigel Daniel, is also split into three product streams designed to offer a fully integrated “one stop shop”– De-icing; Ground Handling and Aircraft Presentation. At the end of last year, Airline Services moved into passenger and baggage handling for the first time when it took over the ground handling for Monarch Airlines at Gatwick Airport, UK. Handling embraces airport ramp services including de-icing, where ASL is the market leader being present at 12 airports in the UK; external washing and cabin cleaning, plus a raft of other ramp services including laundry and dry cleaning and carpet fitting.
