Ground Support Equipment (GSE)

Ground Support Equipment covers every powered and non-powered vehicle that moves, feeds, heats, cools or loads an aircraft while it sits at stand. It includes aircraft tugs and pushbacks, belt and container loaders, ground power units, pre-conditioned air carts, passenger steps, catering hi-lifts and lavatory and potable water trucks. Airlines, ground handlers and airport operators procure GSE in large fleets, usually on 10-15 year lifecycles, and are now transitioning heavily to electric models to meet Scope-1 decarbonisation targets.
