1990: Airport Information Radio

AIR (Airport Information Radio) began broadcasting on the 25 June 1990 with live presentation from 5am-11pm, seven7 days a week on 1584AM. The service reached motorists within 10-12 miles from either London Heathrow or London Gatwick Airports. Outside of the 'Live' presentation was a pre-recorded service with basic airport information.

The Heathrow service was based on an industrial estate on Green Lane in Hounslow. Will Jackson was Manager, and the presentation team included Val French, Paul Miller), Lois Lane, Roger Stamp and Phil Jay. When the two services merged, Will Jackson and a few others ended up presenting separate programmes from "The Shed" (which became the news room) at Mercury's original home, Broadfield House.

From the 18 November 1991, the live presentation was dropped in favour of a taped service.

The station closed down early in 1992.
