Ground operations refer to the activities that take place on the ground to support the safe and efficient movement of aircraft. This includes tasks such as aircraft fueling, baggage handling, and passenger boarding. Ground operations ensure that everything is ready for the aircraft before it takes off and after it lands. These operations are crucial for maintaining flight schedules and ensuring passenger safety. Ground crews work closely with air traffic control and flight crews to coordinate activities. Effective ground operations help minimize delays and enhance the overall travel experience for passengers.
