As Emirates takes delivery of the flagship of its fleet - the A380 - we find out how the airline will handle this giant amongst aircraft. We talk to Southwest Airlines, Flybe, Malaysia Airlines, Kuwait Airways, China Southern and Turkish Airlines about their handling procurement strategies. On the cargo front, we Interview Volga Dnepr and Gollog; and we also tackle cargo IT. We interview handlers too - Bahrain Airport Services, Aviapartner and CIAS - about their plans for growing their businesses. Finally, we tackle fuel pricing, ground handling in Africa and property law contracts for handlers airside.
