Ground Handling Procedures

Ground handling procedures encompass the coordinated activities performed by staff to ensure a safe, efficient, and smooth transition of an aircraft between the ground and the air. This includes tasks such as guiding the aircraft into position, loading and unloading passenger luggage and cargo, refueling, providing administrative support like passenger boarding, and performing routine safety checks. These procedures are essential for maintaining safety standards, minimizing delays, and ensuring passengers and cargo are managed effectively from arrival to departure. Ground handling is a critical part of airport operations that keeps air travel reliable and secure.
