The Impact of
Green Ground Operations
As is the case across the world, sustainability is an increasingly important
issue for the aviation services industry in Central and South America.
BY MARIO PIEROBON
S
ustainability is a strongly felt
topic in the aircraft ground
handling industry throughout
Central and South America, and
sensitivity towards sustainability
has developed significantly in
recent times, with multiple best
practices and initiatives implemented
across the region.
Ground handling practices in Central
and South America have become
increasingly more sustainable and
sustainability-minded in recent
times as the global aviation community
strives to meet its net zero
emissions goals, according to officials
with the UAS International Trip Support
Americas team.
" We are seeing a growing interest
in the adoption of electric ground
support equipment (GSE) and
other green technologies to reduce
Many airports require service providers
to use more electric GSE, yet they may
not facilitate the energy supply needed
to connect the chargers.

emissions and energy consumption.
Major airports in cities like São
Paulo, Bogotá and Buenos Aires are
already implementing these technologies, "
the team says. " An increasing
number of ground handling companies
are developing and implementing
environmental management
systems in a bid to reduce their ecological
footprint. This includes optimizing
fuel usage, reducing waste
and improving recycling practices. "
As is the case across the world,
sustainability is becoming an increasingly
important issue for the aviation
services industry in Central and
South America, affirms Tomeu Mas,
senior vice president for Central and
South America at Menzies Aviation.
" This is driven by several factors
including the increasing consumer
awareness, regional regulations
and global aviation standards, " he
says. " However, the degree to which
sustainability is prioritized across
Central and South America varies by
country, region and organization. "
David Fernandez, head of fleet at
Swissport International, believes that
sustainability is gaining importance
in the airport ground handling industry
across Central and South America,
but the region faces challenges,
particularly with infrastructure.
