Airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) is the lifeline for any airline, above all other components. Airports and airline operations would halt if ground support equipment malfunctioned or stopped working. Every activity that occurs and contributes to an airport’s smooth operations happens with the help of a network of strong and reliable GSE.

GSE is used worldwide by corporate, FBO, MRO, military, and general aviation stakeholders. GSE products range from basic aircraft tow tractor to fuel service trucks and are typically used for ground power operations, cargo and passenger loading operations and aircraft mobility. Ground support equipment is the foundation of every successful function in the aircraft industry. Hence, faulty or malfunctioning GSE can lead to catastrophic aircraft disasters.

Non-powered GSE includes dollies, chocks, tripod jacks and service-stairs. Powered GSE includes refuelers, tugs, tractors, buses, container loaders, transporters, Air Start Units (ASU), potable water trucks, lavatory service vehicles, catering vehicles, belt loaders, passenger boarding stairs, pushback tugs, tractors, de-icing vehicles, aircraft rescue and firefighting aids and snow-movers. GSE can be either hydraulic-powered or non-hydraulic, depending on its specific function. A GSE fleet will also contain miscellaneous equipment such as a towbar, towbar head ball lock pins, nitrogen service adapters, oxygen service adapters, connectors, plugs, various aircraft ground power unit cables, lavatory and potable water hoses, couplers, air start units and much more.

Aircraft equipment is often extremely expensive in nature--with even the smallest parts being very costly—so purchasing it outright is often not an option for many companies. Airlines depend on GSE for their continued smooth operation, but smaller aviation-related companies cannot afford to apply huge chunks of their budgets toward GSE, so they usually rent or lease the GSE for their purpose.

Fortunately, numerous companies offer convenient leasing for GSE and typical leases often range from $25,000 to over $2 millions, depending on the creditworthiness of the lessee and specific terms from the lessor. GSE manufacturers and distributors traditionally either have an in-house leasing company or work with a small number of select financial partners to provide customers with an easy leasing process.

Reputable GSE manufacturers have established exporting facilities and have the ability send their GSE to foreign customers at good prices and with fast and easy shipping. They produce high-quality parts and supplies, manage efficient inventory levels and maintain all required data sheets for equipment and manuals regarding servicing operations.

For the most part, components of GSE often require high levels of regular maintenance to ensure smooth and hassle-free functioning.

The Alarming Threat of Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fuel Contamination

-
Image
There are good reasons to be especially cautious airside when handling diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Over the last 20 months, at least three incidents involving DEF fuel contamination have occurred. Two of which included Cessna Citation 550 twinjets carrying out air ambulance flights. Though all aircraft landed safely and there were no injuries, the occurrences speak to the importance of taking steps to mitigate or remove the risk of DEF contamination in fuel. The cause of these near-tragedies was the introduction of DEF into the fuel supply. The threat of DEF contamination of a fuel supply is a harrowing one, but, whether it’s by cautious loading of an aircraft tug or an update to ground crew training, with some basic precautions even near-tragedies can be averted. What is DEF? DEF is a non-hazardous fluid that, to meet federal environmental regulations, is added to the exhaust systems of diesel vehicles to break polluting emissions into water and nitrogen. While i...

When Cold Air Hits the Airside: Ground Crew and GSE Winter Preparation

-
Image
Airside ground crew coordination and managing every aircraft tug in a ground support equipment (GSE) fleet is a momentous daily responsibility. Preparing for future, and future conditions, is an easy task to overlook during the daily routine. With the approach of winter weather, however, taking extra time to plan can significantly improve operations when poor conditions arrive. Preparing for those conditions is going to work out far more successfully than scrambling to react when they arrive. In short, the best time to prepare for winter is before it hits. Communication Networks for Emergencies There’s no question that establishing, reinforcing, and checking up on intra-airport communication networks is crucial in case of emergencies. When well-planned and maintained, these networks also serve to improve daily operation. The lack of dedicated communication protocols and infrastructure is unfortunately common in a surprising number of aerodromes. There is often ...

Aviation Ground Support Equipment Requirements for Smaller Airports

-
Image
Supplying essential ground support equipment for aircraft at a smaller airport is important for safety and scheduling purposes. Deciding which equipment to use depends on the volume of aircraft on a daily basis, as well as the resources for energy and staff on hand. When choosing GSE to have on hand, here are a few things to take into consideration during a search. Ground Power Having an aircraft ground power unit with easy mobility and efficient power can be a game changer in a small airport operation. This equipment is used to service aircraft between flights or for maintenance by supplying power. These units can be stationary or mobile, but are often more useful when designed to travel on the jetway from aircraft to aircraft. Baggage Loaders & Lifts Having a few baggage loaders and lifts as part of your aviation GSE fleet can make turnaround times faster and increase accuracy depending on crew size and traffic volume. Belt loaders are the most common vehicles for loadin...
