///FREIGHT BREAK


Year Five children from Purbrook Junior School are studying the Fairtrade movement – and where better to get an insight than the UK’s biggest banana port, just on their doorstep? The group visited the port, and


stevedore Portico. The children saw fruit being unloaded from a visiting ship. They then had a look inside one of the vast refrigerated warehouses where bananas are stored at a constant 14°C. Group leader, Kirsty Barnes,


expressed how well organised and comprehensive the visit was. Craig Williams, head teacher at the school who accompanied one of the groups found also found it fascinating, commenting that “Not only did the children learn a lot, I did too.”

New golden age for AA Cargo as it celebrates its Platinum Jubilee


We’re so accustomed to thinking of aviation as a ‘modern’ industry that it comes as quite a shock to learn that American Airlines is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its fi rst cargo fl ight in October. The carrier claims the fi rst


scheduled air cargo service in the world, as well as the fi rst pet carrier container and even the fi rst unit load container. And while I doubt any of the current staff who can remember


that fi rst auspicious day in October 1944, some AA team members hold as many as 50 years of experience working for the cargo operation. Today, AA Cargo is a $1 billion


business and is currently making its largest single investment in its cargo operation to date with a new IT infrastructure as well as the very latest B777-300 and B787-9 aircraſt – a far cry from the DC3s of its early days.
