Ground handling refers to the various services provided to an aircraft while it is on the ground, between flights. This includes tasks such as loading and unloading luggage, refueling, and cleaning the aircraft. Ground handling ensures that the aircraft is ready for its next flight and operates efficiently. These services are typically performed by specialized companies or airport staff, who work closely with airlines to ensure safety and timeliness. Effective ground handling is crucial for maintaining flight schedules and enhancing passenger experience, as it directly impacts the turnaround time of the aircraft at the airport.
