The downtown airport in Kansas City Missouri has had a major twenty million dollar upgrade project which includes self service gas pumps that pilots can pull right up to for re-fueling. The gas will be competitively priced compared to other local sources, but pilots will be able to fill up on their own and pay right at the pump for the ultimate in convenience.
In addition to the self serve fueling station, the downtown airport recently had a new outdoor wash pad constructed and knocked down the 40 old and outdated hangers in favor of 96 brand new hangers for increased storage to serve pilots in the area.
This is just one example of airports all over the country doing their part to make their operations more efficient and hands on. With the addition of one-man operation aircraft tugs and helicopter tugs, an airport with a self serve fueling station and an accessible wash pad could allow pilots of small aircraft to perform all of the tasks that they needed without any assistance.
Old, oversized and cumbersome aircraft tugs are unreliable, difficult to maneuver and often require more than one set of hands to perform the job. This is inconvenient and potentially unsafe for both pilots and surrounding employees. With an upgrade in equipment to one of the state of the art, easy to operate and ergonomic aircraft tugs from Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Co., one person can quickly and easily move their aircraft from runway to wash pad and into the hanger with ease – and vice versa.
Airports all over the country are doing things that will benefit their customers, ease the burden on their crew and be safe for the environment. As a part of these upgrades we see more and more airports upgrading their equipment in an effort to have the safest, most effective and most reliable means of moving aircraft – upgrade to aircraft tugs and helicopter tugs like those offered by Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Co.
