BRIDGE AT BRISBANE AIRPORT NAMED AFTER AIRSIDE OPERATIONS OFFICER, JOHN HANSFORD

Numerous huge occasions occurred in 1969; Woodstock, the moon landing, the Concord lifted off just because, the Beatles recorded their last collection ‘Abbey Road’, and a young John Hansford started his vocation at Brisbane Airport.

51 years after, while four of these five happenings are presently; however, old memories of the past, John Hansford keeps on positively shaping the world with the naming of an airfield bridge regarding his long assistance at Brisbane Airport.

John Hansford Bridge gives basic access to Brisbane Airport's new runway framework for Airside Operations and Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting vehicles in case of a crisis.

Initiating work in 1969 as a merchant sheet metal specialist, John has had different jobs at Brisbane Airport all through his 51-year profession including linesman, foreman and an individual from ground staff at Brisbane Airport, before discovering his actual calling as an Airside Operations Officer in 1995 until his ongoing retirement.

Gert-Jan de Graaff, Brisbane Airport Corporation CEO, said the naming of the extension in John's respect is a fitting tribute for a man who has left a permanent blemish on the Brisbane Airport area and its community.
