Recommended by GSP and tested by them
Fabio Gamba, Director General, Airport Services Association (ASA), said:
"SID allows each GSP participant to compare and benchmark its operations to the industry’s average rate regarding aircraft damage. This is long overdue, but the time is ripe as SID neatly complements the work of national authorities towards regulation of ground handling, and also because it incentivizes GSPs to make continuous improvements. Those that perform better than the industry standard can use the data as a positive story to draw in more clients, while those who identify problem areas can use the statistics to enhance their operations."
Yogesh Parekh, SVP Operational Risk at Menzies Aviation and the Safety chairperson for ASA, added:
"Our core purpose is to prevent and reduce accidents providing a safe, secure, quality service. As a community of GSPs, we needed a voice for the people we serve. Although we participate in industry forums, we often lack the data intelligence to support the initiatives that matter the most. SID not only plugs that gap but also provides a framework for standardised reporting to drive continual improvement."
