BA extends contract with Alpha Flight Services to run its bonded stores at Gatwick airport

Alpha Flight Services has won an extension to its management contract with British Airways (BA) to run its bonded warehouse at London Gatwick airport until 2009.

The warehouse will be relocated from an airside location to Alpha's landside facilities this autumn. The move will coincide with the implementation of a new warehouse stock management system. The original site of the warehouse will be demolished and returned to BAA for redevelopment.

Alpha Flight Services UK and Ireland managing director Ken Adamson said: 'Alpha is a long-standing partner of BA at London Gatwick and the contract is a welcome extension of that relationship.

'Over the past twelve months Alpha has invested in upgraded bond facilities at Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin, and this further investment will ensure we have first class units and systems in place for the future.'"
