ground handling

Ground handling refers to the range of services and activities that take place on the ground to support an aircraft before and after a flight. This includes tasks such as aircraft parking, baggage loading and unloading, refueling, catering, cleaning, and passenger boarding or disembarking. Ground handling ensures that all operational, safety, and logistical aspects are efficiently managed, allowing the aircraft to operate smoothly, safely, and on schedule. It involves coordinated efforts by specialized personnel and equipment to prepare the aircraft for departure and handle it properly upon arrival.
