- Definição2
- Although there is no formal, official definition, ground handling is generally understood to broadly include services necessary for an aircraft’s arrival at, and departure from, an airport but to exclude those provided by air traffic control. The Airport Economics Manual (Doc 9562) separates the ground-handling function into terminal handling (passenger check-in, baggage and freight handling) and ramp handling (aircraft handling, cleaning and servicing). Ground handling generally excludes maintenance and repair of aircraft, although in some instances so-called line maintenance may be considered as a part of ground-handling services.

- Contexto
- States usually regulate ground handling as an airport activity, either as operators of airports (directly or via autonomous agencies) or by relying on national laws and regulations concerning such matters as non-discriminatory treatment.
- An effective and clever operation currently in place at airports is the promotion of all-hands “FOD walks.” These walks are typically conducted as part of an airport’s FOD management campaign. Walks involve the coordination and invitation of airport and air carrier staff (e.g. ground handling agents, air carriers, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) and apron personnel), external partners, and other community volunteers to participate in manually collecting airport FOD.
