TAV Technologies Ground Handling Suite (GHS)

With the growing share of air transportation, the complexity of airport operations has also increased. Ground handling services play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo, as they encompass multiple operations simultaneously. To address this complexity, ground handling systems leverage the latest technologies to streamline operations and reduce challenges.

The term “ground handling” in aviation refers to a wide range of operational services provided to facilitate flights and aircraft repositioning on the ground. These services encompass both passenger and ramp functions, and they are a vital aspect of airport management. Ground handling operations include ramp services, cabin services, passenger services, operation services, catering services, field operation services, and baggage services.

Ground handling tasks involve inherent risks due to high noise levels and heavy traffic in the operational areas. Various machines and vehicles operate in close proximity, and personnel often need to work at heights during tasks such as loading, catering, and refueling. Effective ground handling is essential for successful airport management and plays a significant role in passenger satisfaction.

Dynamic environments like airports are prone to urgent changes, flight delays, and unexpected routing, which can adversely impact ground handling operations. Ground handling systems (GHS) technologies strengthen capacity planning, resource allocation, and decision-making processes for airport employees.

TAV Technologies Ground Handling Suite (GHS) is a comprehensive set of fully integrated products that cover all operational and business processes related to ground handling. It encompasses activities ranging from initial schedule preparations to daily operations and turnaround management, tactical allocations, SLA monitoring, service recording, and automated billing.
