The Ramp of the Future session will present the new IATA project, which will define how advanced technology and advanced data processing can be interlinked and connected to deliver capacity improvements and enhanced processing of the aircraft turnaround operations. Most of the innovation in aviation is aimed at improving the passenger travel experience by developing a series of services, infrastructures and tools either at the airport or to be used directly by the passengers prior to, during and after their travel. As per EASA’s recent press release, the organization will initiate a rulemaking task and a safety promotion task to reference the necessary requirements and initiate non-regulatory activities with the aim of increasing the level of safety in the ground handling domain. Innovation, technology and sustainability are the key words and the program offers topics such as Ramp of the Future (RoF), sustainable ramp, the NEXTT program, growth of ground ops jobs, the future passenger journey, as well as regulatory framework, operational standards, safety polices, data sharing, security threats and others.Īmong the high ranked industry representatives, Patrick Ky, executive director at EASA, will deliver a keynote on the regulatory framework and EASA’s roadmap for ground operations, which EASA is working on to ensure safety in ground operations. ![]() ![]() This year the IGHC is looking into the future through the present. The IGHC offers an exhibition, plenary sessions, workshops, business meetings, industry meetings, training courses and social events. On average, the IGHC is attended by more than 80 airlines from around the world with over 215 delegates. Therefore, their presence at the IGHC is beneficial to all attendees. IATA member airlines, representing 85 percent of global air traffic, are key players in terms of standards setting and business development. Airlines fuel the global economy and generate more than $700 billion (USD) in total revenue, create approximately 240,000 ground handling jobs and $59 billion (USD) in revenues for ground service providers and caterers. Meeting the industry’s leaders is part and parcel of the IGHC with executive level positions forming more than half of the delegates. Of the delegates, 50 percent represent ground handling providers and airports, 25 percent are airlines and the rest are comprised of manufactures, solution providers, suppliers, media and other delegates. The IGHC delegates are key to the success of this event. With such a positive record, the IGHC has demonstrated it is a premier event for the ground handling industry. The IGHC keeps its delegate satisfaction rate high and in the past year it reached 96 percent in overall satisfaction, 94 percent for networking and business opportunities and 98 percent for the program, while it was attended by more than 800 delegates. The 32 nd annual event will be held in Madrid, Spain, May 26-29. The IATA Ground Handling Conference (IGHC) is the longest running international ground operations event and provides the ultimate platform for the ground handling community to develop business, network with industry leaders and drive change.
