This Skytalk aims at highlighting ICAO initiatives for the provision of ground handling services at aerodromes, which includes the publication of the long awaited Manual on Ground Handling (Doc 10121). This ICAO manual brings together the ground handling operation and the principles of SMS in an attempt to highlight safety improvements in the overall system for ground handling service providers (GHSPs) as well as air and aerodromes operators. It also provides guidance for States to assist with the inclusion of ground handling in their State safety programme (SSP).
