GROUND SERVICE
PROVIDERS
goes, the longer the season lasts. All infrastructure
is built to deal with heavy snowfall
and low temperatures, " he says.
Deicing is also a specialty in Scandinavia
in the cold season, which normally lasts from
November to April.
" Therefore, effective and efficient procedures
have been developed in cooperation with
manufacturers of deicing equipment with the
most sophisticated technics, " says Busk.
Personnel Retention
The turnover rate for ground handling personnel
working in Scandinavia is relatively
low, as there often are some extra benefits
connected to a ground handling job depending
on a GSP's organization, observes Busk.
" As the aviation industry has changed
during the last 30 years, going from airline-controlled
ground handling to independent
companies, the latter provide different
benefits compared to airlines. Today, only
two airlines in Scandinavia have their own
ground handling services, one is Scandinavian
Airlines System (SAS) - but only at their main
hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm,
and the other is Widerøe, which operates
only in Norway, " he says. " During the years,
we have seen a number of GSPs trying to open
services in Scandinavia, but due to rather high
costs, it has been difficult to make the ventures
profitable and these GSPs have ceased
their operation after a short time. Today the
largest independent GSPs in Scandinavia are
Menzies, Aviator, CFS and Swedavia - which
is airport-owned and operates only in Sweden.
There is also a number of minor companies. "
Normally, the airport type of work is regulated
by a high number of organized personnel
in different unions, which during the years
have been able to improve the working conditions,
observes Busk.
" Also, working procedures have changed
from nearly manual-only to increasingly more
automatic operations. All of this has an influence
on the turnover rates as the work does
not result so much in physical effort, " he says.
