Right now, we’re being asked a lot about the future of the ground-handling industry, so we’ve compiled a hit list of the major trends for the remainder of 2023 and beyond. ⏩
Did you know that the global airport ground handling market size was valued at $31.8 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $76.1 billion by the end of 2032? That’s a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% from 2023 to 2032. ❔
So, what other trends can we expect to see in the ground-handling sector, that aligns with globalization, growth, and an increase in air traffic? 🤔
✈ Overcoming labour shortages and knowledge gaps ― Thousands of ground handling staff left the aviation industry during the pandemic. Now as aviation ramps up, the severe shortage of skilled ground staff is shedding light on the need for reform to stabilize the talent pool.
✈ Return of passengers will increase the risk of baggage mishandling — According to the SITA 2022 Baggage IT Insights, the number of mishandled baggage was 4.35 per one thousand passengers in 2021. This represents a significant increase of 24.3% from the previous year and leans on the industry to provide action in this space.
✈ Move towards standardization — Industry standards simplify common processes and reduce cost and complexity. They allow airlines to work seamlessly with each other and with other stakeholders such as airports, ground service providers, cargo agents, freight forwarders, and governments.
✈ Digitalization and sustainability — Technological advancements transform the airport ground handling industry, by improving efficiency, safety, and the overall passenger experience. There is a rise in the design of automated ground handling systems, while artificial intelligence is increasingly being utilized in airport operations to optimize ground handling operations, cut down on delays, and enhance the passenger experience.
