The aviation industry is set to embrace significant changes with the upcoming release of the 45th edition of the IATA Airport Handling Manual (AHM). The updates I find the most interesting are: 💡 Travel Document Check: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and verifying passenger travel documents. 💡 Handling Unruly Passengers: Ground handling staff have a key role to play in preventing and managing unruly passenger incidents prior to departure. 💡 Guidance on Environmental Management Systems: Forming the backbone for identifying, managing, and minimizing environmental impacts. For more information, refer to the following article:

Thanks for sharing Chris. Question to all on the travel document check … where should it be done: 1. Digitally before check-in 2. Digitally before departure 3. Manually at check-in 4. Manually before boarding It should be #1, but airlines are increasingly creating a manual check before boarding (entry into boarding queue). I had a recent example where the ground handler, acting on behalf of the airline, wanted to see my visa to let me join the boarding gate process queue. They could not accept the answer, “I have an evisa, so it isn’t in my passport.”
