Aircraft Ground Handling Services At Airports In India Significant Contributions Of Bhadra Internati

Aircraft Ground Handling Services, specially on the apron side play a pivotal role

in the efficient turn round operations of the aircraft at the subject airport. Prior to the stringent implementation of current Ground Handling Regulations as promulgated by our Parliament through Gazette Notification a few years ago, India though geographically well located was being denied its fair share of Air-traffic. Most airlines and operators were over flying our skies as the Ground Handling Operations at our airports were outdated and not in keeping with the international standards. In fact, allowing each of the airlines to carry out self handling had lead to mushrooming of Ground Handling Service Providers who used prehistoric equipment, half baked part time operators to cut costs. The events of 9/11 in US further exposed serious security lacunae at our airports. The situation ever since the implementation of current Regulations has brought in a sea change apart from ensuring enhanced security at our sensitive airports.

The number of Ground Handling Service Providers has now been limited and Bhadra International India Limited as one of the concessionaires is making a major contribution in the field. Having commenced operations at airports in South India and Kolkata over two years ago, Bhadra has earned for itself a professional reputation par excellence. All this has been possible because the company has imported the most modern state of art environment friendly equipment at huge capital investment of over $ 100 million. The company has on its pay roll over 2000 well trained, highly motivated fulltime security cleared dedicated employees who have brought laurels to the company by ensuring on time performance. Its equipment inventory boasts of passenger buses from Cobus, Trepel Cargo Loader, Rheinmetall Air Start Units, Air-conditioning Units manufactured by TLD France as also Ground Power Units from Hitzinger , etc. to name a few.

When asked to comment on the excellent performance by Bhadra in such a short span of time of its existence, the Senior Company official summed it up as the result of Strong And Well Founded Resource Exploitation. He further explained that unlike other fly-by-night operators at most of our Indian airports who are used to availing the services of Manpower Suppliers, Bhadra enjoys the reputation of being self sufficient in the field. Its employees enjoy not only the Government stipulated service and monetary benefits but are also provided continued attention to health and safety environments and a well established feedback system to introduce corrective measures wherever needed. All this has paid rich dividends for the company in knitting the entire work force into a well motivated Team.

The passenger friendly on time services being rendered by the company are already attracting and adding to the companys long list of client Airlines. With Bhadra, Indian Aviation has certainly made a mark and come of age as numerous Airlines have already signed long term Ground Handling Agreements with the company and all out efforts are afoot to attract others onboard.
