The Importance of Ground Handling in Airports

Flight planning and servicing have many aspects and in this month’s blog, we’d like to discuss why it is important to have an experienced ground service partner by your side. While the aircraft, crew and flight plan are the most visible parts, ground handling is also vital for smooth operations. There are many different areas to consider and various ways to source these deepening your operations and locations.

 

AIRCRAFT HANDLING AND MARSHALLING

When on the ground, external aircraft assistance is needed. It could just be signalling, or a tow, escort, and jetway handling. A lack of personnel can cause delays but with our team’s support, we can overcome them.

 

AIRCRAFT SERVICING, CLEANING, AND CATERING

We provide services to help turn around an aircraft. Standard requirements for commercial aircraft and specialised services for private aircraft. Cargo aircraft need extensive ground servicing as well. The selection of the right partner is essential here. Operators need to consider several factors, including cost, experience with similar operations and cargo types, hours of operation, and slot coordination. And we offer all that!

 

PASSENGER AND CREW GROUND SERVICES

It is not just the aircraft – people need to be taken care of as well. We arrange local ground transportation, accommodation, visa assistance, or other services as required. Also arriving passengers can rely on Aurora Aviation personnel to fast-track their way through airport security.

 

There are many different areas to consider when providing ground services. Having options and provisions in place for your planned operations and unexpected events is very important. Having a reliable, experienced, and well-connected ground service partner in place will ensure smooth operation. Contact our team at ops@aurora-aviation.aero or call +971 4 5235 888, and we will gladly discuss our services with you.
