Ground handling operations
Ground handling operations refer to all the activities involved in preparing an aircraft for departure and after arrival while it is on the ground at an airport. This includes tasks such as loading and unloading baggage and cargo, refueling the plane, cleaning the cabins, baggage handling, aircraft maintenance checks, and guiding the aircraft during taxiing. These operations ensure the aircraft is safe, clean, and ready for its next flight, supporting smooth and efficient airline operations. Ground handling is essential for passenger safety, timely departures, and overall airport efficiency.
