A Spotlight for Our Best Leaders
Nominations are being accepted for the 2024
Leaders of the Year until Dec. 29.
A
successful industry needs strong
leadership. Over the course of nearly
two decades, Ground Support Worldwide
has strived to give the top
ground support leaders a platform to share their
insight and wisdom.
That mission continues as nominations for the
2024 Leaders of the Year have officially opened.
Ground Support Worldwide began its Leaders of the
Year awards in 2005. At its inception, the award
was a singular one - Ground Support Leader of
the Year - created to spotlight an individual or
company that had made a significant contribution
to the industry. In 2008, Ground Support Leader of the
Year was expanded into an awards program aimed
at recognizing leaders across numerous aspects
of our industry. During this award expansion, the
Lifetime Achievement Award joined the line-up of
annual recognitions.
These annual awards recognize people and
companies making a positive impact in the ground
support equipment and ground handling markets.
We encourage you to nominate a deserving
candidate for this year's award before the Dec.
29 deadline.
All winners will be featured in the May 2024
issue of the magazine.
In case you're unfamiliar with our annual award
program, Ground Support Worldwide recognizes
four winners.
The Product Leader of the Year highlights
significant achievements in the GSE space.
Ground Support Worldwide looks for experts who
produce equipment designed to improve the
turnaround process, make ground handling
tasks more efficient, and enhance the passenger
experience with innovative engineering and
creative solutions.
The Service Leader of the Year spotlights the

companies who prop up the industry, often behind
the scenes. Ground handling agents and other
service providers, who dedicate themselves to
ensuring the success of their customers are prime
candidates for Ground Support Worldwide's Service
Leader of the Year recognition.
Ground Support Worldwide honors the top-tier
managers with the Team Leader of the Year for
motivating personnel and cultivating safetyfocused
work environments. Team Leaders are
advocates for just culture, positive reinforcement
and effective teaching methods aimed at
improving the ground operations in both the
commercial and general aviation spaces.
Ground Support Worldwide's Lifetime Achievement
Award is reserved for industry trailblazers
and dedicated proponents of the ground support
industry. For this prestigious honor, the nominees
are stalwarts within the ground handling sector
and GSE manufacturing market who have devoted
themselves to improving how aircraft are serviced
on the ramp.
