Ground Support Equipment

Ground Support Equipment (GSE) refers to the various tools and vehicles used to support aircraft while they are on the ground. This includes equipment for refueling, loading and unloading cargo and passengers, servicing engines, and maintaining the aircraft's systems. Examples of GSE are baggage tugs, fuel trucks, and boarding stairs. Essentially, GSE ensures that airplanes are ready for takeoff and can operate safely and efficiently between flights. It plays a crucial role in the overall performance and turnaround time of aviation operations.
