Article Abstract:
UK-based GIBB Airports has introduced a new runway friction analysis software system in Jul 2000. The product provides a computer-assisted, interactive system designed to help carry out friction management of airport runways. It provides information on current and historical pavement section and friction characteristic data. It addresses four functional areas, namely, electronic archival storage of historical pavement data, updating of current pavement data, reporting of information, interactive entry and analysis of pavement frictional performance.

Manchester buys to expand
Article Abstract:
UK's Manchester Airport has acquired East Midlands and Bournemouth International airports from National Express for US$350 million. The acquisition, which follows Manchester's purchase of an 82.7% stake in Humberside in Jun 1999, makes it the second largest airport operator in the UK, after BAA, with its four airports handling some 22 million passengers in 2000. Unlike BAA, however, Manchester, as a local authority- owned airport company, cannot make financial investments in airports outside the UK.
