Airport’s weekly newspaper takes to cyberspace

A newspaper which has been reporting on life at Heathrow Airport for 34 years has launched its own website.

Skyport Heathrow, published by Trinity Mirror Southern, is a weekly free newspaper for the airport, which also has monthly editions for Gatwick and Stansted airports.

The new website, skyport-heathrow.co.uk, is aimed at all airport staff past and present, covering their events and achievements and giving them chance to have their say, as well as reporting on breaking news.

The newspaper has also been redesigned and has a number of new editorial features including a weekly big interview, new columns such as one about the airport’s Animal Reception Centre and a higher story count.

Skyport editor Adrian Seal said: “This is an exciting new milestone in Skyport’s proud history serving the airport community. We now have a platform so our readers can get involved directly and tell us what they think about all the big issues.

“The new website also gives us the opportunity to reach out to a much larger audience and keep them up to date with all the latest news and events from in and around the Heathrow Airport community.”

Skyport Heathrow has 31,000 copies distributed around the airport each week.
