IFT - Infratil

[macduffy]

hmm nothing about the volcanoes effects on IFTs airports in Europe yet!!

A very minor part of IFT's business.

I'd regard any adverse effect on the IFT SP as an opportunity to buy a few more!

I think the effects will be short-lived.

Mind you, I'm no volcanologist and if the Pompeii exhibition at Te Papa I went to last night is anything to go by, we may need to rebuild from the ground up!

I see the are considering reopening flights from Glasgow & Prestwick. No word on Kent which is closer to London.

If the eruption continues, it is said disruptions could remain for up to 6 months.

From Infratil's Facebook page:

Infratil's airports in Glasgow and Kent have minimal operations and expect this to continue for the next couple of days at least. Glasgow Prestwick successfully handled two British Airways long-haul flights on Saturday. Staffing has been reduced and maintenance work brought forward where possible.

That's just plain weird!

Weird? Or simply just keeping up to date with communication in the 21st century? I think you will find a lot of companies using social networking sites for marketing etc.

Infratil regularly update their page with new information and links to relevant news stories. A quick easy way to keep informed.

If your interested, I recommend you go check it out. You don't even need to sign up for a facebook account!

I recently joined Facebook not as Paper Tiger, but under an assumed name. Having discovered on this thread that Infratil are there too I have searched for other companies I own and they do appear to be the only one.

It seems to be a tool for linking to Infratil related news stories which I believe to be lacking from the website.
Good on them

As a side note, that is not allowed under the terms of the site - you must use your real name.

Not weird, but just a bit unusual for an infrastructure company. Still I guess it's no different to being friends with your shampoo. Might as well make friends with your local airport/bus/energy/petrol station company

Haha fair enough I guess. Actually if you want you can become friends with your local airport directly:

Or in Dunedin, you can even become friends with a construction site!! (the new stadium they're building):
