Last week we kicked off our event schedule for 2023 with an airside access visit to Melbourne Airport, where we got to see different aircraft along with what ground equipment is needed to help turn around a flight with some operations trivia to pair courtesy of our tour guide Shaun, who is also a sessional lecturer at Swinburne teaching aviation students in Airline Operations Management.
