The contract was won by Storm, a key reseller of Mobile Tornado technologies and is initially for 200 user licences.

"Mobile Tornado's world-leading technologies will help us to manage operations and achieve our ambitions. As a regional airport, we plan our development with the local economy, environment and stakeholders in mind and we are delighted to be working with Mobile Tornado, a local company with world-leading technology.

"For the first time in its history, LBA will feature 80 destinations year-round and regular seasonal charters throughout 2023-24."
