Aircraft Ground Support Equipment
There are many different types of Airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE), which can be broadly categorized into four main categories: aircraft handling, passenger and baggage handling, cargo handling, and ground power and lighting. Each type of GSE serves a specific purpose and is essential for the safe and efficient operation of an airport.
Aircraft handling GSE includes equipment used to move aircraft around the airport, such as aircraft tugs, belt loaders, and pushback tractors. Passenger and baggage handling GSE includes equipment used to process passengers and their luggage, such as check-in desks, security screening equipment, and baggage conveyor belts. Cargo handling GSE includes equipment used to load and unload cargo from aircraft, such as cargo loaders and forklifts. Ground power and lighting GSE includes equipment used to provide power and lighting for aircraft and airport facilities, such as generators and runway lights. Airport GSE is typically owned and operated by the airport authority, but may also be leased or rented from private companies. The selection of GSE is based on many factors, including the type and size of aircraft to be handled, the airport layout, and the climate.
