AGSA
Many small and medium airports realize that, to retain air service and improve customer service, reducing ground handling costs and improving operational efficiencies are essential. Responding to the growing need, expressed by airports and airlines, for greater efficiencies and enhanced networking regarding airline ground handling activities (both above and below the wing) at airports around the country, the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) Board of Directors established an affiliated organization, the Aviation Ground Service Association (AGSA) in April 2006.
AGSA works to protect rights and options of airport operators regarding the provision of ground service operations through the airport operator, qualified FBOs, airport/airline service companies, or through joint ventures formed by the airport operator, airlines and the ground service industry. AGSA also promotes standardization of ground service tasks to enhance operational efficiencies and cost-effectiveness, while enhancing customer service to the airlines and the flying public.
