Why do we need a worldwide organisation?

• The issues affecting the ground handling industry are increasingly international
• Our customers often operate worldwide and whilst regional differences will always occur, responses to many issues need to be considered on a global basis
• In addition, only with a worldwide organisation will the voice of ground service providers carry the credibility and respect that is needed to influence major issues

What is our mission?

• To be recognised and consulted as the representative and professional industry forum and the voice of ground handling companies worldwide
• To provide a forum for consultation on industry issues between companies engaged in aircraft ground services at airports
• To provide a strong industry representation worldwide
• To develop common practices to address industry problems and to communicate them to all parties concerned in the aviation industry
• To work with a common effort for the progress of civil aviation in general
