Equipment and Ground Support

Support for your aerospace IP programme

Aerospace does not just mean aircraft; a whole range of technologies are required to ensure aircraft are suitably maintained, fuelled, and loaded with baggage and cargo. This includes baggage and cargo handling systems, vehicles for transporting baggage, cargo, and equipment to and from aircraft, and systems for loading and unloading aircraft. Recent developments have seen increasing automation of equipment and ground support, including the use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
