Aviation
Commercial aviation was about to be developed at the airport to the stage where it would be recognized as a first class operation. The terminal building was a converted RAF hanger to accommodate the expected arrival of international passengers. A good impression was important. Airline companies from all over the world set up shop at the terminal as well. Aircraft maintenance and refuelers were tasked with performing fast and efficient service. Field maintenance, air traffic and meteorological services also were necessary requirements.
