The Aviation Industry’s Global Influence

-
The aviation industry is a significant contributor to the economies of every country in the world. Air travel and transport have made today’s global economy possible, as accessibility enables regions and cultures to be increasingly interconnected and interdependent. Essentially the world is now a smaller place thanks, in part, to the aviation industry.

The aviation industry operates with an important internal support network and, primarily, this extensive network consists of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) at all levels. GSE encompasses all services provided and equipment used from the moment an aircraft touches the runway to the time the aircraft takes off again. FBOs (fixed base operators) and MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) are aviation entities which make use of all types and sizes of GSE. From an aircraft tow tractor and power supply machine to aircraft pushback and fueling and lavatory services, everything falls under GSE umbrella. It is simply impossible for aviation to operate efficiently and successfully without a comprehensive GSE strategy.

Depending on exactly what is needed, orders for new GSE and GPU (Ground Power Units) can be very cost-prohibitive, particularly for small and mid-range operations. In these instances, select suppliers present options for purchasing used or refurbished equipment, renting and leasing and third-party contracts.

AERO Specialties is an industry-leader and proud of the work it does to provide complete solutions to operations across the globe.Aircraft manufacturers, FBOs, MROs, militaries and commercial airlines trust AERO Specialties for the world’s finest selection of GSE products and world-class support. 

About AERO Specialties:

AERO Specialties is a trusted provider of aircraft and airport GSE solutions. From an aircraft ground power unit to top-of-the-line Eagle tugs and tow tractors, AERO Specialties supplies the widest range of GSE on the market.

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.

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 ...

Simple Ways to Improve Crew Safety on the Ramp

-
Image
The airside is one of the most dynamic, fast-moving, and dangerous work environments. Workers perform heavy labor, they work exposed to the eleme nts, they’re often required to operate heavy machinery and specialized vehicles, and they have to contend with the risk of vehicles operating in close proximity. Aircraft Tug Those vehicles are heading in all directions, and vary greatly in size and speed. That includes aircraft tugs and tractors hauling baggage trains, other ground support equipment (GSE) vehicles, and of course aircraft. Thousands of tons (and millions of dollars worth) of aircraft on the ramp need to be serviced, and the safety of crews and passengers is at stake. A safe airside work environment is of absolute importance. Training and More Training This may be something of a cliché to anyone who manages grounds crews and GSE, but perhaps the simplest way to improve airside crew safety is training, training, and more training. Ensure that the entire ground crew i...
