The Safest Flight Operation Service
With the assistance of our flight operation and load planners, we ensure the safe departure of aircraft carrying maximum payloads. Just Aviation is responsible for flight watch, monitoring flight movements, offering 24-hour coverage, and assisting aircraft within the range of the Very High-Frequency Radio. In addition to these flight support arrangements, Just Aviation also assists with flight permits for countries worldwide, including Algeria, helping operators complete the necessary permissions for their planned operations.
Managing weight and balance of aircraft
Our load planners calculate how passengers, baggage, cargo and fuel are distributed, so the aircraft stays within its weight limits and its centre of gravity stays within safe limits for takeoff and landing. Correct weight and balance protects safety and helps you carry the maximum payload the flight allows.
Flight Watch
Our flight watch team follows your flight’s movements, delays, weather and airport status around the clock, and passes important changes to your crew, your operations team and the handler on the ground, so the next turnaround is ready when you arrive.
Work closely with flight and cabin crew, and ground handling team
We coordinate between the flight crew, cabin crew and ground handlers on briefings, special requirements, cleaning, catering and departure readiness, so every party works from the same information and the aircraft leaves on schedule.
Seamless Ground Handling for Every Mission
Precision, safety, and speed — managed by experts who understand your aircraft’s needs.
FAQS ABOUT AIRPORT GROUND HANDLING
Ground handling is the set of services that prepare an aircraft, its crew, passengers and cargo for arrival and departure at an airport. It includes ramp operations, baggage and cargo loading, fuelling, cleaning, de-icing, passenger services, pushback and departure coordination.
Ground handling services use a variety of equipment, including baggage carts, pushback tugs, fuel trucks, and aircraft cleaning equipment. Other common equipment includes ground power units, passenger stairs, belt loaders, and lavatory and water service vehicles. Just Aviation arranges all the ground support equipment your aircraft needs at your airport.
Ground handling services can be provided by airlines themselves or by third-party companies that specialize in ground handling services. Just Aviation works through a global network of FBOs and ground handling service providers, arranging the right handler for your aircraft and supervising the service on your behalf.
The main services provided by ground handling companies include baggage handling, aircraft refueling, aircraft cleaning and maintenance, passenger assistance, and aircraft towing and pushback services. Just Aviation also arranges ramp handling, cargo handling, lavatory and potable water services, de-icing, cabin services, visa assistance, slots and fuel supply.
Ground handling service is a critical aspect of the aviation industry as it ensures safe and efficient aircraft operations. Ground handling services help to ensure that aircraft are properly loaded, fueled, and maintained, which is essential for safe and efficient flights. Poor ground handling is a common cause of delays, extra costs and safety risks, while well-managed handling shortens turnaround times and protects your schedule.
