When Thomsonfly.com launched a new low-fares airline out of a previously underused Coventry Airport, when Swissport needed some public relations expertise to support them in external and internal communications, when Gatwick Airport needed interim cover, when Heathrow Airport needed help to counter the Camp for Climate Change and when Bournemouth Airport wanted some national press exposure, they all turned to Batphone Aviation Communications.

For many of his clients, Russell Ison is the preferred point of contact to liaise with suppliers, business partners and authorities.
