Kent International Airport signs maintenance agreement with MetEngUK

A long-term maintenance agreement has been signed by Kent International Airport Limited, engaging MetEngUK to provide calibration and engineering services for the operational meteorological systems in use at the ex-RAF airfield at Manston in Kent.

Boasting one of the longest runways in SE England, at 2,752 metres, the airport is in constant use by Boeing 747 freighters, for which reliable and accurate surface meteorological data are vital.
