EDITOR'S NOTE
When Teamwork is
Most Crucial
Looking around the industry, there are countless
examples of the great things that can be achieved
when we work in concert.

A
year ago, when we published the 2020 Global Issue, I offered some reflection in this column
about the state of the industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic. There was plenty of uncertainty
then, but it was mixed with optimism. And while our industry is still feeling the effects of
lockdowns and travel restrictions a year later, that optimism hasn't been misguided. The
industry is continuing to adapt and it's beginning to emerge from last year's setbacks.
As detailed in the pages of this year's Global Issue, technology has allowed us to stay connected,
new solutions are helping facilitate safe passenger travel and ground service providers are rising to
the task posed by hefty cargo demands. It's taken a great deal of collaboration from key stakeholders
across the industry.
Similarly, organizers have toiled to safely bring the International GSE Expo back to Las Vegas. It took
tremendous teamwork, and like the rest of our industry, the events team at Endeavor Business Media
and our partners at IAEMA worked around the clock to find solutions to every challenge encountered
to reconnect us.
Speaking of strong teams, the editorial staff at Ground Support Worldwide and AviationPros.com welcomed
a new member this summer. Becky Kanable is a veteran journalist equipped with the skills to help
us grow our coverage across print, digital and multimedia platforms. We're excited to have her onboard
and encourage you to welcome her to the industry. She can be reached at Becky@AviationPros.com.
Effective teamwork is key, no matter the goal. From providing ground service for commercial aviation,
to developing new GSE technology, to producing a trade show, the value of teamwork is on full display.
There is still a ways to go before we're back to a pre-pandemic state. But we're well on our way as our
industry is beginning to reap the awards of working together.
