Aircraft Ground Equipment

Aircraft Ground Equipment refers to a diverse range of essential tools and machinery used to support aircraft operations while they are on the ground. These equipment are vital for various tasks such as aircraft maintenance, servicing, loading and unloading cargo, and passenger boarding. Common examples of aircraft ground equipment include ground power units (GPU) that provide electrical power to the aircraft when engines are off, aircraft tugs for towing planes, baggage loaders for handling luggage, and deicing vehicles to remove ice and frost from the aircraft surfaces during adverse weather conditions. The efficient and safe functioning of these ground equipment is crucial to ensure smooth turnarounds and maintain the overall operational efficiency of an airport.
