Representation & Supervision
The majority of flight support companies, who are away from their FBOs and major hubs are entirely dependent on third party providers. This leads to frustration and delays as the central operations team attempt to search for remote service providers when things go wrong
At best major flight support companies may have a single representative without a car normally identified by a yellow jacket with a logo on it
With exclusive ground handling arrangements in a growing number of airports, we are able to give a real high quality 'dedicated representative' product on the ground with the ability to solve problems.
This dedicated representative is easily distinguishable by the unique “Adhoc.aero” safety jacket and dedicated Ramp car with the Adhoc.aero logo on it.
1. Representation in Ground Handling
Representation refers to the responsibility of acting on behalf of an airline, airport, or ground handling company to ensure the services are being delivered correctly. This role typically includes liaison activities, coordination, and ensuring that all ground handling processes are in compliance with company standards and regulatory requirements.
Key Responsibilities:- • Client Representation: Acting as a point of contact between the airline or ground handling service provider and other stakeholders, such as airport authorities, customs, and security.
- • Contract Oversight: Ensuring that ground handling contracts are being adhered to and that services are being provided as agreed.
- • Compliance and Safety Standards: Ensuring that all ground handling activities meet local and international regulations, including those set by aviation bodies like the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) or IATA (International Air Transport Association).
- • Problem Solving: Representing the airline or service provider during any incidents or issues that arise during the ground handling process, addressing concerns and finding solutions quickly.
2. Supervision in Ground Handling
Supervision refers to the direct oversight of ground handling operations to ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and safely. This role ensures that ground handling teams have the necessary resources, equipment, and training to perform their jobs effectively.
Key Responsibilities:- • Team Leadership: Supervisors are in charge of managing ground handling staff, providing guidance, and ensuring that team members perform their duties according to the standard operating procedures (SOPs).
- • Resource Management: Ensuring that the appropriate equipment and personnel are available to carry out tasks like baggage handling, fuelling, marshalling, and cleaning.
- • Safety Oversight: Supervisors ensure that all safety protocols are followed and that any hazards or risks are identified and mitigated. This may include overseeing fuelling operations, aircraft towing, or de-icing services.
- • Operational Efficiency: Supervisors monitor the performance of ground handling services, tracking turnaround times and ensuring minimal delays. They are responsible for resolving any issues that may arise, such as delayed baggage or equipment malfunctions.
- • Quality Control: Ensuring the quality of services like aircraft cleaning, passenger assistance, and baggage handling, which are directly tied to customer satisfaction.
How Representation and Supervision Contribute to Efficient Aircraft Ground Handling:
- • Ensuring Compliance and Safety: Both representation and supervision are critical in maintaining compliance with aviation regulations and safety protocols. This ensures that ground handling activities are carried out without compromising passenger safety or operational efficiency.
- • Coordination Between Stakeholders: Representation ensures that airlines, ground handling companies, airport authorities, and other stakeholders are aligned in their goals. Supervision makes sure that the ground handling team executes their duties effectively, preventing misunderstandings or miscommunication that can lead to delays or accidents.
- • Reducing Delays and Enhancing Efficiency: Effective supervision of ground handling tasks can reduce turnaround time, ensuring that aircraft can depart on time. Proper representation ensures that services are aligned with customer expectations, resulting in smoother airport operations.
- • Quality Assurance: Supervisors maintain high-quality standards, while representation ensures that any issues with service delivery are immediately addressed, leading to better service consistency and improved customer satisfaction.
