Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• GATWICK Airport has opened a commercial wing for its motor transport department. It trades as AutoSky and will maintain commercial fleets on a regular or ad hoc basis.

The repair facility — based at the South of England Centre in Ardingley, West Sussex — operates 24 hours a day. Virtually any type of vehicle can be repaired.

A 1,5 0 0m2 body/ refurbishment workshop is divided into three integrated units.

The metal/fabrication shop has arc, T1G, MIG and pulsespot welding equipment; Miller plasma cutter; power saws: Morgan Rushworth metalwork guillotine, roller and bender, and folder; and a store area with a wide variety of metal stock.

AutoSky claims that its ability to manufacture nonproduction body panels offers customers a major advantage.

The vehicle preparation bay includes a Fest° dust-free sanding unit and the paint booths — including a 1 2.5 x 12.5m pit — can accommodate both commercial and light vehicles.

Says manager Steve Plent: "In operating and maintaining a large and infinitely diverse fleet, AutoSky can appreciate operators' problems and provide flexible and professional solutions."

AutoSky also offers a 24hour fuel service and vehicle hire with drivers if required.

Autosky runs a regular bonded or non-bonded cargo haulage service between Heathrow and Stansted.
