IATA Launches New
Ground Operations Portal
The International Air Transport Association
(IATA) announced the launch
of the IGOM Portal, a major support
tool for the efficient implementation
of the IATA Ground Operations
Manual (IGOM).
IGOM is the established global
industry standard for ground handling
worldwide. The IGOM Portal is an online
platform where, with IGOM as the primary
reference, airlines and ground
service providers (GSPs) can exchange
information, including any variations,
on their ground handling requirements.
" Safe and secure on-time turnarounds
are a priority for airlines and a
critical deliverable for GSPs. Standardization
of procedures through the IGOM
is a key enabler. But it must be implemented
to be effective. The IGOM Portal
will provide the means to understand
variances and manage adoption, " said

The IGOM portal will bring the following
benefits to airlines and GSPs:
* Simplified verifiable communications:
A fully traceable notification and
acknowledgment function facilitates
communications between airlines and
GSPs on IGOM variations.
* Latest information: Real time updates
to the IGOM are immediately published
on the portal.
* Benchmarking: A comparison function
enables a digital gap analysis between
IGOM requirements and the manuals
used by airlines and GSPs.
* Network overview: Local variations at
all stations can be viewed for network
overview of IGOM adoption.
The IGOM Portal is available free of
charge to all airlines and GSPs.
