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.
