9007 • FLL Zulu ramp training pool

BCAD/FLL INTRODUCES THE DAMP RAMP

 

Ever seeking unique sources of revenue, BCAD announces the construction of a new training pool on one stand of the under-utilized Zulu ramp which has an ideal location clear of most regular taxiway traffic. This special service will be available to any airline, foreign or domestic, with significant discounts available to FLL tenant airlines. Given the unique mix of each carrier's fleet, each airline will supply its own aircraft. Slide repacking services are expected to be announced shortly by individual MROs.

 

ARFF will operate and maintain the new feature. As a professional endeavor, water wings, rafts, toys and umbrella drinks (FOD) will not be permitted. The pool has a capacity of 21,240 gallons and can therefore serve as an additional source of potable water for airlines participating in the program.

 

It's expected to be quite a hit with airside personnel, particularly during the stifling heat of the summer months. In a nod to the timing of the service launch - in conjunction with the Fort Lauderdale Air and Sea show - BCAD is also establishing the Wave Off Water Polo League (WOWPooL) open to all airport and airline employees, details and teams to be announced.
