If you missed this year’s #IARSummit at Twickenham Stadium on 19 and 20 October 2022, we have it on good authority from our Head of Commercial, Grant Winter, and Business Growth Manager – UK & Europe, Chris Foster, that you missed an outstanding Aviation industry event!

The International Airport Summit was a great opportunity for Zafire Group Ltd to participate in a different kind of Aviation trade show from those at which we usually exhibit and it did not disappoint.  The event was attended by Airports and Aviation Authorities, two sectors of the Aviation industry we typically don’t encounter at the trade shows we’ve attended in the past, and this made for some fascinating discussions with some completely different prospective customers.

#IARSummit was also on a smaller scale to the large-scale events we usually attend and this meant that our team was kept especially busy at Stand 6 with lots more delegates able to find the time to drop by and have a very thorough discussion with us about our Global Aviation Software Solutions.  It was great to be even more visible amongst a smaller number of exhibitors and the smaller scale also made it easier for our team to network not just with prospective customers, but also with other exhibitors.  The outcome of our participation in this show has been the prospect of some very large-scale projects with potential customers and lots of expressions of interest in potential collaborative partnerships with other exhibitors.  A fantastic experience all round, then, and hats off to hosts, Russell Publishing and International Airport Review, and venue, Twickenham Stadium, for such a superb show!

It was great to see so much interest in Zafire and our core suite of Aviation solutions, including FirstBag, FirstRamp, and FirstLoad, and how these can enable large-scale organisations, such as Airports and Aviation Authorities, to reduce costs and enhance a simplified ramp and turnaround operation:

  • FirstRamp (cloud-based app for management of high-volume and time-critical turnaround tasks).
  • FirstLoad (Automated Load Control for instant clearance and paperless ramp – safety is paramount).
  • FirstBag (‘Download & Go’ SaaS-based baggage reconciliation and ‘One-Touch Reflighting’).

If you missed us at #IARSummit, and you are looking to optimise aircraft turnaroundplan your workforcemanage complex SLAs, contracts & billing, implement a centralised load control strategy, or manage your bags more effectively, why not  email Lou Read, or call Lou on +44 (0) 1295 701 810 to find out more?
