Ground Support Worldwide - 29

INTERNATIONAL

"To ensure fair competition on the market,
no exceptions, preferences and benefits are
provided to us. The conditions applied by
Prague Airport are the same for all ground
handling providers," explains Jarkovsky.
The collaborations between ground handlers are based on business relationships,
according to Bakutis.
"For example, in Vilnius International
Airport, we have two ground handling suppliers and de-icing service is shared between
them, if required. Or we have back-up contracts when ground handlers support for an
agreed fee with each other if one of them is
unable to handle aircraft with its own equipment," he says.
Bakutis believes that the Polish aircraft
ground handling market is very peculiar.
"Poland is becoming more and more conservative and local companies are getting
way more support than foreign companies.

Despite that, Baltic Ground Services is growing in the Polish market successfully and
numbers are increasing by 15 percent each
year," he points out.

Regulatory Environment
At the moment, there are not particularly
noteworthy regulations that are imposed
on the aircraft ground handling industry by
Eastern European countries. All passenger,
cargo and general aviation operations are performed with no special regulations imposed
at Prague Airport, which has airport collaborative decision making (A-CDM) in place.

"However, we have been noticing a recent
trend of tighter restrictions applied to nighttime operations due to noise abatement measures," says Jarkovsky.
With regard to the regulatory landscape,
Bakutis points out that the Baltic countries
are not particularly restrictive.
"People from outside the EU can easily be
employed with a permanent permission to
work inside airports," he says. "Baltic Ground
Services is employing new staff from Africa
and Asia."
