I'm absolutely thrilled to be organising the Aviation Services Association (ASA) Leadership Forum, an event dedicated to addressing a pivotal topic within the ground handling sector! The Talking Heads Panel scheduled for September 21 presents an exceptional opportunity to deeply explore the industry's evolution and the challenges it faces.
The theme "Beginning of the End for the Race to the Bottom?" resonates strongly with the transformative shifts observed over time. The emergence of independent Ground Services Providers (GSPs) in the 1990s ushered in a combination of opportunities and challenges. It's truly intriguing to contemplate how industry consolidation, regulation, and standards have played a role in shaping this sector.
Recent impactful events like the pandemic and the significant workforce changes have placed the industry at a crucial crossroads. Reflecting on our collective experiences, there lies a genuine possibility to derive positive change from the lessons learned. The transition from a competitive drive towards lower standards to a collaborative push for excellence necessitates forward-thinking strategies and cooperation from all stakeholders.
This panel offers an exclusive opportunity to converge insights from visionary leaders who can illuminate innovative methods to elevate the industry. The objective isn't solely to reach the pinnacle of achievement, but also to cultivate an environment of excellence, improved labor conditions, and sustainable practices.
I'm eagerly anticipating the enriching discussions and novel ideas that will emerge from this panel. Let's unite in our efforts to endorse and support the Ground Handling Association ASA, which serves as a catalyst for an industry characterized by continuous growth, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to delivering outstanding services. Well done to ASA for initiating this crucial dialogue!
The collaboration of all airlines, airports, ground handling/service providers, and industry associations like International Air Transport Association (IATA) and ACI Airport Council International is imperative. Let's join forces to attend the exclusive event that addresses the specific needs of ground handling/service providers and serves as the ideal platform to connect with airline partners.
Be sure to register for this unique event, which is designed to cater to the requirements of ground handling/service providers, and serves as the prime venue to engage with your airline counterparts.

BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM?
This has been the motto of the ground handling sector ever since the first independent GSPs came to the fore in the 1990s. #Consolidation, #regulation, tightening industry #standards, but also the hindsight of the pandemic and the great #resignation. Have we become wiser? What can the major stakeholders do so that this industry gets characterized by being a race to the top?
