New Ground Handling
Agreement Template to
Facilitate a Safe and Efficient
Aviation Ecosystem
Airports Council International (ACI)
World, in collaboration with the Airport
Services Association (ASA), has released
a new Ground Handling Service Provider
(GHSP) and Airport Operator Agreement
Template to facilitate and promote
a safe and efficient aviation ecosystem.
The agreement template is a crucial
guidance document to improve collaboration
between airport operators
and GHSPs, by helping to formalize the

relationships between the organizations
as well as to harmonize requirements
and standards for operating at an airport
and around an aircraft.
The guidance document can also help
overcome some of the additional safety
challenges brought on by the social
and economic impact of the pandemic,
namely the capacity to offer services
according to defined service levels.
Together, through improved operational
harmonization and human
performance, the agreement template
has the potential to improve the
safety and efficiency of the aviation
ecosystem for the benefit of current and
future consumers.
" The ACI-ASA Ground Handling
Service Provider and Airport Operator
Agreement Template is essential to iron
out the much-needed harmonization
of operational requirements for ground
handlers working at the airport environment,
essential for a safe and efficient
aviation ecosystem and ensuring closer
collaboration between airports and
GHSPs. Aviation is a symbiotic relationship
where each stakeholder must rely
on the other, " ACI World director general
Luis Felipe de Oliviera said.
