Ground Traffic Management

Ground Traffic Management (GTM) involves coordinating and controlling the movement of aircraft, vehicles, and personnel on airport grounds to ensure safety, efficiency, and smooth operations. It includes managing aircraft taxiing, baggage carts, fuel trucks, and maintenance vehicles, often using communication systems and technology to optimize traffic flow. Effective GTM reduces delays, minimizes the risk of accidents, and improves overall airport productivity by organizing ground movements properly. It’s a critical part of airport operations that ensures aircraft can safely and efficiently reach runways, terminals, and other facilities without disruption.
