A business jet stopping for fuel has different needs from a cargo freighter on a tight turnaround, or a commercial airline managing 200 passengers at an unfamiliar airport. Our team assigns the right handler to each operation, confirms services, coordinates logistics, and provides real-time updates throughout.
We coordinate everything in advance so there are no gaps when your aircraft arrives. Here's how the process works from request to wheels-up.
Having the right contacts on the ground is what separates a smooth turnaround from a costly delay. The Network Plan has built working relationships with aircraft ground handlers at airports across every major region, from busy international hubs to remote and challenging stations.
Every category of operator has specific ground handling requirements and different expectations for how quickly tasks are completed. Our team understands the difference between handling a MEDAVAC, where every minute counts, a VIP rotation, and a cargo freighter, which requires a precise loading sequence. We arrange accordingly.
Send us your flight details and station requirements. Our team will confirm the right handler and services before your aircraft arrives.
Many operators handle ground operations directly and only find out something was missed when the aircraft is already on the stand. Booking through The Network Plan means every service is confirmed in writing before your aircraft arrives, with a dedicated contact who stays across the whole operation.
Aircraft ground handling covers all the services your aircraft needs on the ground between landing and departure, marshaling, parking, fueling, passenger and baggage handling, cleaning, catering coordination, and ramp services.
We arrange ground handling through our network of vetted handlers at airports worldwide. We act as your single point of contact, coordinating, confirming, and supervising the services on your behalf.
