Elsewhere, we find out why the aviation sector has been vital when it comes to the humanitarian aid efforts following the Turkey-Syria earthquake, speak to UK firm Aerocloud about how it is looking to disrupt legacy technology in airports, and learn the importance of runway maintenance to combat rubber deposits from aircraft tyres.
