🛫 Ground Handling: Prioritizing Safety, Standards, and Sustainability 🌱 At the recent International Air Transport Association (IATA) Ground Handling Conference (IGHC), three key priorities were underscored for the ground handling sector: ⚠️ 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭: With travel demand set to soar, safety remains paramount. Enhanced Ground Service Equipment (Enhanced GSE) adoption is pivotal, aiming to reduce ground damage costs and enhance overall safety by 42%. Harnessing data and digital solutions further fortifies injury prevention and minimizes loading errors. 🌐 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬: Standardization is the bedrock of efficient operations. Tools like the IATA Ground Operations Manual (IGOM) and the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) ensure consistency and reliability across the board. 🌍 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝: A sustainable future requires action now. From promoting professional development with the IATA Ground Operations Training Passport to transitioning to eco-friendly GSE, the industry is steering towards a greener, more prosperous path. "Ground handling is the backbone of aviation. Prioritizing safety, standards, and sustainability ensures we're not just ready for the future, but leading it," emphasizes Monika Mejstrikova, IATA’s Director of Ground Operations. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dcW6T_Fg #AviationSafety #GlobalStandards #SustainableFuture #groundhandling ✈️🌍

This week, I witnessed something I hope no one ever has to see: a plane crash right before my eyes. Normally I travel through this place on regular basis as my office is nearby to the place where the incident took place. The experience was both heart-wrenching and eye-opening. As I reflect on this traumatic event, several critical points have emerged that are worth sharing: 1. Immediate Response: In such dire situations, the instinct to help is often overshadowed by the sheer speed of events. It’s a reminder that emergency situations can be so overwhelming that even the best intentions can be rendered ineffective. This underscores the importance of robust emergency protocols and training. 2. Emergency Response Times: Despite being within the boundary of Tribhuwan International Airport, it took nearly 20 minutes for firefighting teams to reach the scene. This delay, compounded by traffic and road conditions, raises concerns about how response times can affect outcomes in critical situations. 3. Infrastructure Challenges: The lack of high-quality perimeter roads within the airport boundary significantly impacted the speed of emergency response. It’s a stark reminder of the need for airports to invest in adequate infrastructure to ensure timely access during emergencies. 4. Improving Airport Safety: As a landlocked country with a crucial reliance on air travel for tourism and connectivity, we must prioritize airport safety and infrastructure. International standards often include well-maintained perimeter roads to support emergency services. Airports like Singapore Changi, London Heathrow, and Hong Kong International serve as examples where effective infrastructure and response protocols contribute to overall safety. Key Takeaway: The tragedy I witnessed highlights the urgent need for continuous improvement in airport safety measures and infrastructure. Investing in better perimeter roads and optimizing emergency response capabilities are essential steps in ensuring that such incidents are managed as effectively as possible. Rest in peace to those who lost their lives, and heartfelt condolences to their families. Let’s use this as an opportunity to advocate for improvements and better preparedness in our aviation sector. Our safety and the safety of others depend on it. #AviationSafety #AirportInfrastructure #EmergencyResponse #TribhuwanInternationalAirport #SafetyFirst

As aviation professionals, whether we’re aware of it or not, people travel by air for two reasons: it is convenient, and it is safe. Take away any of these and air travel as we know it ceases to exist. That is why as air travel grows globally, it helps to have a structured plan in place to help identify hazards and manage the potential safety risks those hazards present in these growing and dynamic airport environments to ease the minds of the customers as far as their safety is concerned. In an industry that has so many moving parts such as ours, SMS must be a concerted effort between the airport operator, the tenants, and stakeholders because the last thing we want to happen is a customer concerned for their safety when it comes to air travel. What are some of the ways you are engaging with your tenants and stakeholders to implement SMS at your airport? Leave a comment below. #airports #operations #airside #sms #safety #riskmanagement
