Gatwick Airport is trialling new Smart Stand technology to manage aircraft turns.

The trial is being run with easyJet and allows aircraft turns to be performed from a central control room, record turn events automatically and apply AI when the plane is ready to leave. 

The Airport says the Smart Stand can improve turn around time and maintain punctuality, by enabling jet bridge operators to manage aircraft turns without having to attend every arriving aircraft. 

The first live trial took place in May and is expected to run until next summer.

Susy Radio Presenter Jim Richman has a special message he wants to give to our listeners.

In February this year Jim was given the news that he had Prostate Cancer. After getting over the initial shock, he said “the first thing was to be positive and focus on getting well”.

The treatment consisted of a six-week course of External Beam Radiotherapy, which sounded a lot scarier than it is. Each session took around fifteen minutes and was not as bad as he first thought.

Jim’s advice is everyone should get a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test from your doctor, because by doing this you can get up to a 90% chance of catching anything early which is a good thing.

He added, “My thanks go out to all the radiologists at The Charing Cross Hospital who have been wonderful. Don’t leave it too late to get yourself checked – do it today”!

We at the news team in Susy Radio would like to say well done Jim and we wish you the very best for the future.
