Division of Ground Handling Responsibilities
• There is no hard-and-fast rule that can be applied to the division of
responsibility for ground handling functions at airports. The responsibility
varies not only from country to country but also among airports in the
same country.
• Prior to airline deregulation, handling activities were carried out mainly
by airlines (acting on their own behalf or for another airline) or the
airport authority. At many non-U.S. airports, all handling tasks were
undertaken by the airport authority (e.g., Frankfurt, Hong Kong, and
Singapore). The converse was almost universally true in the United States.

Control of Ground Handling Efficiency
The extreme complexity of the ground handling operation requires
skilled and dexterous management to ensure that staff and equipment
resources are used at a reasonable level of efficiency. As in most
management areas, this is achieved by establishing a system of control
that feeds back into the operation when inefficiencies appear. The
method of control used at any individual airport depends on whether
the handling is carried out by the airline itself, by a handling agency
such as another airline, or by the airport authority.
