THE FUTURE OF GROUND HANDLING IN THE FORM OF ELECTRIC GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

Muhammad Zaenal Arifin, Singgih Perdana Putra, Mustika Sari

Abstract


The research aims to find out how the adoption of Electric Ground Support Equipment (eGSE) in the future can provide efficiency and emission reductions in every flight operation at airports. The problem of the research is the environmental impact and cost inefficiency of using fossil fuel-based GSE in the aviation industry. To resolve the problem, the research will use quantitative methods with cost-benefit analysis, where the data is collected from secondary sources, specifically price comparison data for electric GSE and fossil fuel GSE and their respective maintenance costs. The result is that the transition from conventional fossil fuel-based Motorized Ground Support Equipment to electric Motorized GSE in the aviation sector offers a viable solution for companies driven by both economic and environmental factors. This transition is expected to lead to significant reductions in emissions and operational costs.
