To handle the high amount of traffic, we’ve secured overflow parking and added additional ramp equipment. We are also already accepting slot reservations. Slots, parking and hotel rooms will be at a premium and may not be available to those who wait until closer to the event.”<br />All airports in the southeast of England including the London area will require slots from the period of July 21, 2012 through Aug. 15, 2012. Although there are more than eight airports in the London area, Hayward said operators need to have a strategic plan when choosing their destination airport.<br />“With more than 32 Olympic venues across the UK, 10 of which are outside London, selecting the right airport and hotel is critical,” said Mark Hazard, Director, Trip Support Services Operations, Universal®. “We can assist operators by providing the most current slot and parking information, then helping them develop a customized plan that meets their specific Olympic requirements. We’ll help operators answer the critical questions they need to ask when selecting an airport or FBO. Is the airport open 24 hours? Are there parking restrictions? How far is the airport from the Olympic Village or the games the operators plan to attend? Can the airport accept large aircraft?”<br />Stansted Airport, which is open 24/7, is located 30 minutes from the Olympic Village by car.<br />“Stansted is uniquely equipped to serve operators due to its location,” said Hayward. “Universal Aviation has the ability to handle all sizes of aircraft, from Beech 200 up to a Boeing 747, and we are completely refurbishing our FBO facilities. Europe-based operators can also take advantage of the expert’s onsite in our European Operations Centre for trip support and flight <br />planning services, including 24/7runway and slot coordination, which will allow for quick-turn changes.” <br />Universal Aviation has 40 locations in 19 countries, and is known for adherence to standards for consistent, professional, personalized services, and regional expertise.
