The Advantages and Benefits of
Enhanced GSE
IATA's Enhanced GSE initiative aims to accelerate a transition to sustainable
equipment with features like collision avoidance and inching technology.

n an effort to make ground
operations safer, more efficient
and cost effective, new
technology solutions are being
incorporated into ground support
equipment (GSE) on an ongoing
basis.
Officials at the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) have
highlighted a number of benefits of
utilizing enhanced GSE and recognized
success to further encourage
the ground handling industry to
adopt the latest technology.
As part of the 2024 IATA Ground
Handling Conference (IGHC), IATA
identified three key priorities for the
ground handling market - improving
safety through reduced operational
risk; implementing global standards;
and embedding sustainability in
all activities.
In line with its safety objectives,
IATA officials stated their intent to
reduce ground damage through a
transition to enhanced GSE.
" The aviation industry is facing
a massive challenge. With the
number of flights expected to rise,
ground damage costs could reach
IATA introduced its Enhanced
GSE Recognition Program
to encourage the use of
upgraded GSE, such as
equipment that uses anticollision
technology to improve
a ground handling agent's
ability to control a vehicle and
increase docking accuracy.

$10 billion by 2035. A key mitigation
measure is the adoption of enhanced
GSE to make the ramp a safer place
for both personnel and aircraft, " said
Monika Mejstrikova, IATA's director
