know about Airport Services Management

2. As the name suggests, airport services management is all about managing different profiles at an airport. This is more like an umbrella term, and you may come across other names as Fixed Base Operators, Ground Handlers, Above-Wing services and Below-Wing services who may provide some or all areas of airport service. Usually, the area of service is specialized, but most of these operators specialize in management of certain services at an airport.

3. FBOs. In general, FBOs offer an array of services at an airport, primarily with regard to general aviation. The core line services are the (ground) handling, fueling and hangaring of aircraft, but some operators also provide aircraft management repair and overhaul • (MRO) and aircraft charter and management (ACM) services as well. Many FBOs are commissioned by the airport authorities for certain commercial operations, such as aircraft ground handling, terminal/gate services, and property management.

4. More often than not, a ground handler specializes in commercial aviation. They usually handle services below the wing, and hence, you may also come across the term called ‘below wing’ services. They typically provide such commercial aircraft services as aircraft ground handling, baggage handling, aircraft fueling, and other services which take place on the airport ramp.

5. Above-wing" services. Essentially "Above-wing" services are related to anything to and from the aircraft. The list may include ticketing, gate agent services, provisioning the airplane, handling of passengers, baggage management, water services and coordination of other services.
