nies worldwide are already implementing. These
include the delivery of more effective forms of

identify operational safety issues and the devel-
opment of the soft skills of operatives to improve
the quality of the ramp as a work environment.

on what aircraft ground handling
companies can do by themselves
to improve their operational status
quo.
