David Armstrong, regional sales manager of ntl:Telewest Business, said: "Internet connectivity is as important to the operation of the airport as any other utility."

The airport was used by more than two million passengers in 2007.

It selected a managed link to guarantee the reliability of the connection and minimise maintenance. The service is based on a leased-line internet service, and includes hardware and round-the-clock support.
