Ground Support

Ground support refers to the equipment, structures, and personnel used to assist aircraft while on the ground. This includes tasks like guiding planes during parking, refueling, loading and unloading passengers and cargo, maintenance, and safety inspections. Ground support systems ensure aircraft operate efficiently, securely, and without delays, enabling smooth transitions between flights. It involves a coordinated effort between various ground services, such as baggage handling, catering, and maintenance crews, all working to support airline operations and passenger safety outside of the flight itself.
