London Southend Airport is owned by the Stobart Group, and every single Eddie Stobart vehicle is identified by a unique girl's name – and the fleet of vehicles at London Southend Airport is no exception.
Loo-Loo – as her name suggests – is a truck designed specifically to remove waste from aircraft. Aqua supplies aircraft with fresh water. The pair represent a £200,000 investment in the vehicle fleet at London Southend Airport, to provide additional resilience as the airport grows.
Yesterday the new girls lined up alongside fuel bowser’s Gas-o-Lina and Phil-Uppa, de-icer Cand-ice, along with electronic baggage trucks and push back tugs with the London Southend Airport staff members they are named after (Jo, Rebecca and Sam), on the airport apron.
