For over 37 years, JP Supplies has supported the UK airport industry with reliable, compliant workplace supplies. From safety footwear and PPE to janitorial and cleaning products, we work closely with airlines, ground handling agents and airport service providers to keep operations running safely and efficiently.

With a strong customer base across the UK and a particular focus on Heathrow and Gatwick, we understand the demands of fast-moving, highly regulated airport environments.

Safety Footwear

Airport-Approved Safety Boots & Shoes

Safety footwear is one of the most critical PPE items for airport staff. We supply a wide range of airport-approved safety boots and safety trainers, suitable for ground crew, engineers, baggage handlers, maintenance teams and terminal staff.

Our footwear range includes:

• Metal-free safety boots and shoes (ideal for security-controlled areas)

• Lightweight safety trainers for long shifts

• Slip-resistant footwear for wet or contaminated surfaces

• Composite and carbon toe protection

• Footwear suitable for indoor and outdoor airport environments

We work with trusted brands and proven models that are already widely used across airport operations.

Clothing

Hi-Visibility Clothing for Airport & Airside Use

Hi-visibility clothing is a critical requirement across airport and airside environments, helping ensure staff remain clearly visible in low-light, high-traffic and vehicle-controlled areas.

At UK airports, hi-vis garments must meet recognised safety standards and be suitable for use around aircraft, service vehicles and operational equipment.

Key Standards for Airport Hi-Vis Clothing

Airport hi-visibility clothing typically needs to comply with:

• EN ISO 20471 – High visibility clothing for professional use
• Class 2 or Class 3 garments are commonly required for airside operations

• Fluorescent background material (yellow or orange) for daytime visibility

• Retro-reflective tape for night-time and low-light conditions

• Durable construction suitable for regular washing without loss of visibility

Many airport operators also specify:

• Non-metallic fastenings where required

• Close-fitting or snag-free designs for working around machinery

• Compatibility with additional PPE such as harnesses or body warmers

Gloves
Safety Gloves for Airport & Airside Operations

Hand protection is an essential part of PPE across airport environments, where staff regularly handle luggage, equipment, tools and cargo in all weather conditions. The right safety gloves help reduce the risk of cuts, abrasions and fatigue while maintaining grip and dexterity during repetitive tasks.

For airport and airline operations, gloves need to offer a balance between protection, comfort and flexibility, allowing staff to work efficiently without restriction. Durability is also key, as gloves are often worn for long periods across demanding shifts.

Popular choices among airport teams include Showa 310 gloves, known for their excellent grip and comfort, along with Skytec Beta and A100 gloves, which are widely used for general handling, loading and maintenance tasks. These styles are trusted for their reliability, breathability and consistent performance in busy operational environments.

Janitorial & Cleaning Supplies for Airports

Cleanliness and hygiene are critical in busy airport environments. In addition to PPE, we supply a comprehensive range of janitorial and cleaning products designed for high-traffic areas.

We supply:

• Cleaning chemicals and consumables

• Paper products and washroom supplies

• Cleaning equipment

• Products suitable for terminals, hangars, offices and staff areas

Our janitorial solutions are trusted by airport cleaning teams who need reliable products that perform consistently under pressure.
