Airside Services Market Trends

• The increasing private participation in ground handling & maintenance is driving the market growth

Due to increased private engagement in ground handling & maintenance and growing liberalisation, the global market for airside services is anticipated to grow steadily over the course of the projected period. Trade liberalisation combined with a supportive regulatory framework is crucial for driving the market and advancing the growth of global businesses like tourism. Liberalisation also has an impact on pricing strategy and network optimisation, which lowers the production effectiveness of the aviation industry. Major ramp services, fuel and oil handling services, pushback tractors, aerobridges, towbars, baggage handling at the sorting area, service segmentation, aircraft servicing, aircraft maintenance services, and regulatory environment & governing bodies are some of the key services falling under this market.

The growth of the airside services sector is anticipated to be fueled by rising passenger and freight air traffic, a positive prognosis for the commercial aviation sector, and rising demand for Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs). The factors favourably affecting the market expansion are the rising popularity of on-airport de-icing services, rising demand for oil & handling services, along with rising need for ramp handling services. Airport ramp handling services, which include safety regulations and suitable ground handling, guarantee effective aircraft turnaround, resulting in the scheduled arrival and departure of the flights. As a result, it is anticipated that increased use of baggage handling services such as Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), which includes X-Ray baggage scanning systems for small bags as well as baggage scanning at airports to protect nations from terrorist and anti-social threats, will positively affect the market for airside services.

The future course of airport administration is likely to depend on how well each stakeholder performs. It is planned that all agents—landside, terminal, and airside—will be integrated onto a single platform, allowing for real-time analysis to support decision-making. Total airport management (TAM) encourages data-driven decision making, thorough KPI tracking, and the integration of operations by integrating processes and systems throughout the airport. The Airport Operational Plan (AOP) can be developed, adopted, and maintained based on performance thanks to TAM's performance-based airside services. This guarantees justice, resolves any potential conflicts of interest between stakeholders, and assures that everyone is working as hard as they can to achieve a common goal.  Thus, driving the Airside Services market revenue.
