The company said the move would help LBA to “improve safety, efficiency and productivity in complex daily operations”.
Luke Wilkinson, global head of sales at Mobile Tornado, said:
“This agreement with one of the UK’s busiest regional airports represents another big vote of confidence in our push-to-talk over cellular platform as an improved radio system for critical communications.”
Damian Ives, chief operating officer at LBA, said:
“Mobile Tornado’s world-leading technologies will help us to manage operations and achieve our ambitions.

Bettys and Taylors partners with Woodland Trust
Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate has announced a partnership with the Woodland Trust.
The move will see the company form a tree planting partnership at the trust’s Snaizeholme project in the Yorkshire Dales.
The scheme will see up to 50,000 trees planted as part of the company's five-year project.
Alice Tollan, sustainable development specialist at Taylors, said:
“As a family business that relies on agriculture for much of our produce, we have a long commitment to protecting our environment.
“Our Trees for Life campaign was launched in 1990 and since then we’ve supported the planting of over seven million trees in both the UK and in tea and coffee growing regions around the world.
“We’re proud to have worked with the Woodland Trust for many years on tree planting initiatives across the UK and we’re pleased to partner together on this latest unique project.”
Pip Greensmith, head of partnerships for the Woodland Trust, added:
“Snaizeholme offers a chance for us to boost biodiversity at a time when the natural world is in crisis.
“Tree planting and habitat restoration will boost the water quality of the river and beck, safeguarding habitats for species such as otter, as well as attracting birds such as herons, grey wagtails, kingfishers and dippers.
“It’s great to see Bettys & Taylors Group invest in nature-based solutions here in the UK.”
