Frequently
Asked Questions
How does ground handling work?
Ground handling operations and activities start when the incoming aircraft arrives at the airport. Assigning airport gates to arriving aircraft is part of airport management. It includes assessing already occupied gates and types of arriving aircraft. Airline and ground handling agency staff inspect GSE before an aircraft arrives. The ground support equipment is moved to the ramp when an aircraft lands.
Once an aircraft has landed, air traffic control informs its pilot of the allocated gate and which route to take.
Meanwhile, airline and GSE staff conduct pre-flight inspections of ground support equipment to ensure all equipment works properly before the plane lands. They will tow your vehicle to the ramp to avoid delays if you park somewhere else.
Why aircraft marshalling is needed?
Aircraft marshaling ensures that aircraft are correctly positioned and oriented on the ramp. Stop bars are needed to mark the position of the aircraft on the ramp. Different aircraft require different positioning on the ramp. Centerlines and stops are clear with red paint or yellow tape. All aircraft must be guided to the correct position by a marshaller.
How do aircraft ground handlers coordinate arrivals or departures of aircraft?
They typically use communication systems called Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems. An electronic display board showing the direction of traffic flow behind each landing gear. They also use radio communications between pilots and controllers to coordinate arrival routes and departure times.
Who takes care of the aircraft after it lands?
After the aircraft land safely, the airport personnel or ground handling agent removes any cargo or other items from the aircraft hold and then loads those items onto another ground vehicle. It is important to coordinate these actions so that all aircraft land in time.
Why do I need ground handling services?
Ground handling operations before each landing assures pilots and passengers that everything is safe. Airport security personnel perform regular checks and verify the closure of landing gear doors, shutting down engines, setting flaps, and following other operating procedures. In addition, the use of ground power units helps reduce fueling costs. By eliminating taxi time between runways, the aircraft can quickly reach their assigned gates. And airport security officers can spot potential threats more easily because fewer people are required to monitor the area.
