Ground Handling

Category: aviation

The services provided to an aircraft while it is parked at the airport.

This includes refueling, baggage loading, cabin cleaning, and waste removal. The FBO coordinates the ground handling team to ensure the jet is ready for its next departure as quickly as possible.

Common Examples

• Our ground handling team was already waiting at the ramp with the fuel truck and catering cart as we taxied into our parking spot.
• Efficiency in ground handling is what separates a world-class FBO from the rest of the competitive private aviation market.
