ACI WORLD
The GHSP and Airport Operator Agreement
Template is designed to maintain a safe and
sustainable practice of ground handling.
AVIATION
STAKEHOLDERS
The GHSP and Airport Operator Agreement Template
is a free template produced by the two industry
associations to facilitate the establishment of
agreements between GHSPs and airport operators.
A similar template agreement exists between GHSPs
and air operators, produced by the International
Air Transport Association (IATA), explains Thomas
Romig, ACI World's vice president of safety, security
and operations.
The template is available for free from ACI's Publication
Store (aci.aero) and can serve as a guide
for organizations that decide to use it, according to
Romig. The formats in which the agreement template
are available are Word DOC and PDF.
" It can be edited and adapted to suit the specific
requirements being established between two organizations, "
he says.
Where the Need Comes From
Some years ago, the ACI Safety Technical Standing
Committee identified ground handling as a domain
having a significant operational safety and performance
impact on airport operations, observes Romig.
" The topic was discussed and reviewed from multiple
angles with multitude stakeholders. It was agreed
that actions were needed both through ACI and at the
global level, " he says.
In 2016, a policy paper on ground handling, which
called for the establishment of agreements between
airport operators and GHSPs operating at airports,
was published by ACI.
" This template was one of the next logical steps in
achieving this strategic objective. It is purely guidance
material based on best practices that airports
and GHSPs are free to use, " says Romig. " Many airports
already have some form of agreement in place
- this document was originally built on best practices
from multitude airports. In its second version
- produced in February 2022 - a collaborative effort
between ACI and ASA was set up to create a balanced
document that reflects the needs and requirements
of both parties. "
According to Fabio Gamba, director general of ASA,
there was a need for a stronger link between the different
stakeholders.
" It is a triangular situation with the airlines on one
side, the airport itself on another side and then there
are the ground handlers, which are the third leg of
the tripod, " he says.
Traditionally there has been a link between airports
and airlines, observes Gamba.
" There have been, of course, links between the
ground handlers and the airlines and the ground
handlers and the airports, " he says.
