So, issues faced by today's independent ground handlers may not have
been addressed.
As a result, ground service providers must often navigate several
operational hurdles.
To make their tasks more manageable, ground handlers can work
with airports and airlines to ensure new designs are optimized to enable
smooth ground service. And until those design projects are underway,
ground service providers can address their equipment needs to work
within existing constraints.
Part of the Process
According to published materials from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), aircraft aprons, including parking
stands, taxiways and apron service roads should all be
evaluated to determine the optimum workflow.
" Aircraft aprons, including their associated support network of taxiways and taxi-lanes, should
be designed so that their layout does not
impede the free flow of aircraft and ground
service equipment, " IATA officials say.
" Aircraft delayed on the ground, either
on stand or while maneuvering between
stand and runway, can cause severe
disruption to airlines' schedules with
resultant cost penalties and unnecessary inconvenience for passengers.

Many of these challenges can be explained when examining how
airports were designed in the past.
In Europe and North America, where many airports were built in
the 1940s and 1950s, or even earlier, there wasn't much dialogue about
design, explains Fabio Gamba, director general at the Airport Services
Association (ASA). The focus was more on whether a location could
accommodate an airport.
" Traditionally, it's not been the case [to collaborate], " Gamba says.
" Airports have been designed without taking too much into consideration the operational needs of those who would want to use this
runway and the airport, itself. "
Even as airport development
evolved and input was sought
from airlines, ground support was historically
an extension of
airline services.
