As a result of IATA's efforts, the aircraft ground handling system market is experiencing accelerated growth, positioning itself for sustained expansion in the coming years. For instance, in May 2024, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) launched a new program aimed at accelerating the integration of advanced ground support equipment (GSE) technologies into everyday operations. Introduced during IATA’s Ground Handling Conference (IGHC), the IATA Enhanced GSE Recognition Program acknowledges Ground Handling Service Providers (GHSPs) that are modernizing their vehicle fleets with enhanced equipment.

Automation and digitalization are revolutionizing the aircraft ground handling industry, improving efficiency and safety. Advanced systems such as automated baggage handling, real-time tracking of ground support equipment, and AI-driven ground operations management are being adopted to optimize processes. These innovations reduce human error, improve turnaround times, and enhance overall operational efficiency, driving the demand for smarter ground handling systems.
