Rebecca Mupita , MD of Transdev Airport Services , says the future for the company will be green , and connected to local Heathrow communities
Rebecca Mupita is Managing Director of Transdev Airport Services and CCH Aviation Logistics , both of which are part of the Transdev Group , whose core function is delivering multimodal transportation services .
Mupita and her colleagues are based a stone ’ s throw away from Heathrow Airport , and provide innovative , sustainable passenger transport and fleet maintenance solutions for the aviation sector . “ We deliver solutions that are aimed at providing clients and customers with complete transparency , so that they better understand their operational demands ,” she explains . “ With this insight , we can identify and tailor the right solutions to support .”
As well as managing and maintaining complex airport fleet and equipment , Mupita and her team provide scheduled and on-demand transportation services and manage airport bus and coach stations . Tailoring its services and solutions is just part of the company ’ s transformation journey , as it continues its recovery from a brutally tough pandemic . “ Covid hit Transdev very hard ,” says Mupita . “ It decimated the aviation industry .” In the post-pandemic era Transdev is not just rebuilding , but is “ rebuilding green ”, says Mupita .
“ Reducing emissions is at the heart of our sustainability measures ,” Mupita adds . “ We are currently planning to deploy a new electric fleet at Heathrow Airport , and through our new technologies we are also designing passenger services that reduce unnecessary transfers , while enhancing the passenger experience .” And , she adds , the company will also continue to extend its outreach initiatives , working with local schools , colleges , and universities , looking to find the next generation of ‘ journey makers ’.
“ We ’ re increasing our apprenticeship schemes to develop young talent ,” says Mupita . “ Typically , logistics isn ’ t a career young people think about going into . But we are looking to change that .”
