Ground Support Worldwide - 27
INTERNATIONAL
"The GSE supply chain is generally normal
at international airports. The low utilization
resulting from the limited traffic is the challenge. Pooling on GSE with the participation
of the manufacturers could rationalize the
GSE availability costs at airports while traffic
grows to critical mass levels," says Konate.
At most of the main airports in Africa,
the aircraft ground handling industry has
witnessed some deregulation, hence the participation of several international players. In
smaller markets, the market is quite tightly
regulated, i.e. the sole providers or the couple
of GHSPs may have pre-validated fees by the
local CAA.
"The ground handling sector is a closed
industry because of the environment they
operate in, which is highly regulated and very
capital intensive. In certain countries, there
is a traction of separation between airport
management and ground service provision.
At the end of the day, airlines are paying the
ground handlers for services rendered as per
their agreement but the operating procedures
and standards are largely influenced by the
Airport Authority," says Lochan.
"Benchmarking of taxes, fees and charges,
places Africa on the high ends. Private Public
Partnerships are more and more involved in
airport infrastructure development projects,
and private partners want a quick return on
investment based un-stability risks in certain
African states. Furthermore, state taxes on
concessions which are recovered on relatively
small traffic. Hence, the basic costs of doing
business are often high, and they affect taxes,
fees and charges to air carriers operating to and
from African airports. The combination of
these high costs are included in the high fares
public must pay to travel by air," says Konate.
"Productivity gains, at airline levels, at GHSP
levels, at Air Navigation Service Providers levels, airport operators, fewer taxes from states
and reasonable ROI set by economic regulation
will bring fares at affordable levels and increase
the pace of the traffic growth for the benefits
of all stakeholders."
