Ground Handling

Ground Handling on an airport is one of the most complex and time-critical processes in the entire industry. Multiple parties work on the same object, where even only a minute of delay in a single activity can create havoc on the work-schedules of everybody else, leading to a substantial waste of resources and multiplied delay of the entire system. Such interdependencies, the time-criticality and natural factors such as weather highlight the importance of careful planning and flexible management of all activities and resources around an aircraft on ground.

And when you thought you’ve got it all under control, the airline changes the equipment or the aircraft is parked at another position!

Our IT systems support this complex task by maintaining up-to-date flight information, planning resources for the long term and pre-operations, managing activities in real time, with immediate and accumulated data reporting, and finally communicating and providing the correct, actual and necessary information to any party involved promptly.
