Multitel UK Supplies 18 Aerial Platforms to TUI Airlines for Operations at Nine UK Airports

Multitel continues to strengthen its position in the aviation sector with a strategic supply to one of Europe’s leading airline operators. Multitel UK has delivered 18 aerial platforms to TUI Airlines, now deployed across nine international airports in the United Kingdom, supporting aircraft maintenance and ground servicing operations.

The supply was managed through React Access Ltd, a well-established partner in the UK access rental market with extensive experience in airport and aviation-related applications. Multitel platforms were selected to meet TUI’s operational requirements in terms of safety, reliability and operational flexibility, all critical factors in high-intensity airport environments.

The supplied fleet comprises 7 MS 100 units and 11 MJ 201 truck-mounted platforms, configurations that enable efficient operations across a wide range of aircraft types, including wide-body aircraft such as the Dreamliner, optimising ground operations and reducing intervention times. The platforms have been strategically deployed across nine UK airports where TUI Airlines operates regularly, ensuring operational consistency and high standards throughout the network.
The MS 100 is a compact truck-mounted platform offering a working height of approximately 10 m (6.5 m without stabilisers) and a maximum platform capacity of up to 400 kg with stabilisers deployed. Its aluminium telescopic boom and spacious platform make it particularly suitable for servicing medium- and wide-body aircraft.
The MJ 201, mounted on a 3.5-ton chassis, delivers a working height of up to 20.10 m, a maximum outreach of 12.60 m, a 400° turret rotation and a self-levelling basket, ensuring precise and efficient access even in confined or complex operational areas.

A key milestone of the project was the promotional day held in December 2025 at Birmingham Airport, where Multitel platforms were demonstrated on site alongside a TUI aircraft, showcasing their performance in real operating conditions.

“This project is a clear example of Multitel’s ability to meet the highly specific requirements of the aviation sector,” said Greg Moore, UK & Ireland General Sales Manager at Multitel. “The collaboration with React Access Ltd (MD / Owners Chris Caney & Duncan Howard) and TUI Airlines, followed a structured technical and operational process, enabling us to identify the most suitable solutions in terms of safety, performance and local support. The result is a highly efficient fleet, strategically deployed across multiple airports, and a strong foundation for further opportunities in other European markets.”

The supply followed an in-depth evaluation process that began in 2024, including a visit to Multitel’s headquarters in Manta, Italy. During this visit, representatives from React Access and TUI had the opportunity to test several models from the Multitel range, gaining first-hand experience of the machines’ design quality, engineering solutions and the support structure provided by Multitel UK.

Beyond the UK market, this project also represents a starting point for future international developments. TUI is currently assessing the potential deployment of additional Multitel platforms in other European countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, while further opportunities with other airline operators are under evaluation.

With this supply, Multitel once again demonstrates its capability to deliver specialised access solutions for complex operational environments, reinforcing its position in the airport and aviation sector and supporting continued international growth alongside its partners.
