P H I L C AVA L I E R

Are you interested to know what happens behind the scenes of your favourite airport? We asked Phil Cavalier – Maintenance Delivery Manager, to tell us more... 1. What does your day job involve? From managing my team, to problem solving, to making difficult decisions, no two days are the same in the engineering department. 2. What is your favourite part of what you do? Problem solving and fixing; we respond and react quickly to business threatening faults and mostly our passengers would never know we had been there. This airport wins awards based on passengers’ views and if they have had an amazing experience, then we were doing our jobs properly. 3. What training did you have to go through before you could do this job? Well I have 2 degrees in engineering plus a whole host of C&G and NVQ qualifications covering all aspects of engineering and IT. I have been a building services engineer for 25 years and 10 of those were as an engineer for Southampton Airport. 4. W hat made you decide to want to work in aviation/at the airport? My early career was spent either abroad or working in London and after 10 years I wanted to get a job closer to home but I also wanted a job that used all my skills and talents. 5. W hat do you love about working at Southampton Airport? Well as I said above using all my skills, but now it’s that we do something different every day and that makes for an interesting role and an interesting career. I have very low turnover of staff too because all my team think the same way. 6. W hat is your favourite destination from Southampton Airport? Mallorca, as many times a year as possible! 7. W ho is the most famous person you’ve met at work? I’m going to have to say Dave Lees, he’s been on TV a few times and the most famous person I’ve met. 8. If you weren’t working at the airport what would you do? Applying my skills to the advantage of another business. 9. W hat is your favourite aircraft? The historic Lancaster Bomber which we see quite regularly at Southampton Airport, or the A380 passenger plane as this is an engineering masterpiece . 10. What is your favourite thing to do outside of work? Socialise with friends and family, I like to entertain as much as possible and visit our favourite pubs and restaurants.

BREEZE AWARD

WINNER At Southampton Airport we pride ourselves on helping to make our passengers’ journeys as easy as possible. Our Breeze Through Awards recognise and reward those staff who go the extra mile.

GERALD PRAGNEL (APCOA) When a couple with a three month old baby arrived at the airport at 1am for their early flight they were very upset to find that the airport did not open until later that morning. Gerald not only provided them with somewhere warm and dry to wait but also made them hot drinks and snacks to see them through the night. The couple wrote in to tell us “We do not know what we would have done if it wasn’t for Gerald’s help and kind actions. Thank you so much Gerald for all your help!” Gerald, you really are a legend!

Last chance to hit the slopes

des

With the recent boosts of snowfall across Europe’s top skiing destinations, the snow conditions for the season have been very impressive. Luckily there’s still time to make the most of them and hit the slopes with a last minute ski getaway!

ARTS

HEAD TO GENEVA WITH EASYJET The sleek, slick and cosmopolitan Swiss capital of Geneva is a great gateway to the Swiss ski resorts along with many resorts in the French Alps. Offering plenty of variety from quiet, smaller, undiscovered gems of the Alps to large bustling ski resorts including the internationally known Chamonix, Les Gets and Flaine, all overlooked by Mont Blanc – the highest mountain in Western Europe. As you Breeze through Southampton Airport you can enjoy a flight to Geneva in just over two hours, making it perfect for a last minute ski weekend or longer stay. The sheer number of ski resorts near the airport means you can be on the slopes within a few hours of leaving your easyJet flight from Southampton. The mountains offer a good selection of restaurants, bars and cafés. So once you’ve reached the summit, cosy up on a terrace or balcony and watch the alpine life go by with a hot chocolate (or something stronger) before flying down the slopes yourself. If you fancy treating your legs to a rest, travel across the SwitzerlandFrance border and ride a cable car to the summit of Aiguille du Midi for an incredible Alpine panorama — the views will take your breath. Fly with easyJet or Flybe Flight days: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday Flight time: 2 hours 15 mins

CHAMBERY & THE FRENCH ALPS An ideal gateway to the mountains is Chambery, a beautiful town in the Rhone-Alpes region of France in a valley with an almost 360 degree view of the French Alps. Peaceful & pretty, with good food & wine on offer along with a generously warm welcome, Chambery is an exciting destination in its own right. You’ll find the charming villages of Grenoble, Albertville, La Clusaz, Courchevel, Alpe d’Huez, Chamonix and Val d’Isère with hundreds of miles of runs especially good if you like to ski many miles a day and not on the same run. The resorts are great for families too with family friendly accommodation, English speaking ski instructors and equally good restaurants to refuel after a day on the piste. Ski and snowboard holiday experts Ski Total, Inghams and Esprit Ski will create a package to suit your needs.

CRUISE &

Relax! Norwegian Cruise Line now cruising from Southampton

Port of Southampton Welcomed a Record Breaking 2m Cruise Passengers in 2017 and brought with them a massive multi-million pound cash injection to the local economy.

ABP Southampton Director, Alastair Welch, said: “2017 was a record-breaking year for the Port of Southampton and 2018 looks set to be even busier. “A huge amount of work goes into ensuring all passengers transit our facilities with the greatest of ease and it is testament to our whole port community that 2m cruise passengers receive Southampton’s world class service.” In 2017 the port experienced its busiest long weekend ever when 15 cruise ships visited the port in June. And it was recognised for the ninth consecutive year as the Best UK Departure Port by Cruise Critic UK editors. In 2018 the port can look forward to: • Eight maiden calls • A naming ceremony for Azamara Pursuit New ships calling for the first time in Southampton will be: Aida Perla; Norwegian Bliss; MSC Meraviglia; Sapphire Princess; MS Zuiderdam; Seven Seas Navigator and MS Koningsdam.

Azamara will be christened in Southampton in a first for Azamara Club Cruises. The lines other two ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, missed out on an official naming ceremony as they went straight into service after their original refurbishments. Following the naming of Azamara Pursuit on 28 August, there will be a two-night celebratory cruise. Azamara Pursuit formerly sailed for P&O Cruises as Adonia, and was acquired by Azamara in September 2017. Azamara Chief Operating Officer Carol Cabezas said: “This ship has a very strong British heritage and it has a fantastic following here. Plus we have seen a tremendous amount of demand from the UK audience. We’ve never had a christening in our brand’s history and we want to do that in Southampton.” On August 31 the port will experience a 6 ship day when Arcadia, Aurora, Braemar, Independence of the Seas, Mein Schiff 3 and Queen Victoria will all be alongside in Southampton. This day will showcase the diversity Southampton delivers for a range of lines and the breadth of offer the cruise industry now has.

With excellent transport links to and from Southampton Airport, it’s easy to join your cruise.

NEW Premium All Inclusive Experience a brand new sensation of freedom at sea with Norwegian Cruise Line’s Premium All Inclusive. Holiday budgeting has never been easier because there is so much more included in your cruise fare, like soft and alcoholic drinks branded in all bars, lounges and restaurants, service charges, speciality coffees in restaurants and mineral water in your stateroom. And, of course, all this is on top of Norwegian’s signature inclusions, such as unrivalled 24-hour dining, award-winning entertainment and endless activities.

We would like to welcome and thank our cruise passengers for choosing Southampton Airport to join your cruise. May you have a pleasant onward journey. Bon voyage!
