Global airport handling services industry outlook
Ground handling equipment for different airport ground handling services are leased or owned by ground handlers and stored at airport terminals. The storage costs for vendors increases when the number of stored ground handling equipment becomes greater than the actual requirement, at any given point in time. To ensure cost and capacity efficient airport operations, airports, airlines and ground handlers are taking up initiatives such as collective pooling of airside equipment. By collective pooling of airside equipment, vendors can enjoy various benefits including reduction of storage, maintenance and equipment purchasing expenditure, terminal stands congestion, and flight delays due to unavailability of equipment. Menzies Aviation, Swissport International, and TCR announced an initiative for collective pooling of airside equipment in London Luton Airport, UK, in 2017. Through this initiative, the airport procured all equipment and stored them centrally to lease them to ground handling service providers as per requirement, thereby increasing the efficiency of ground handling operations. Thus, the airport handling services market report identifies the collective pooling of airside equipment to be a key trend that will gain traction in the future and drive the growth of the market at a CAGR close to 5%, during the forecast period.
