An airport is a designated area of land or water equipped with facilities and services for the arrival, departure, and movement of aircraft, passengers, cargo, and mail. It serves as a critical node in the air transportation system where airside and landside activities are coordinated to ensure safe, efficient, and secure air travel. An airport is not merely a runway for aircraft operations but a complex organization involving infrastructure, personnel, technology, and regulatory systems that together support aviation activities at national and international levels. One of the primary functions of an airport is airside operations, which include all activities directly related to aircraft movement. This involves the management of runways, taxiways, and aprons to ensure safe takeoff, landing, and ground maneuvering of aircraft. Air traffic control plays a central role by providing instructions to pilots for maintaining separation between aircraft, managing traffic flow, and preventing collisions. Runway inspections, lighting systems, navigational aids, and weather monitoring are integral to airside safety, especially during adverse weather conditions or low visibility operations. Another major function is aircraft handling, commonly referred to as ground handling. This includes a wide range of services provided to an aircraft while it is on the ground. These services involve aircraft parking and marshaling, refueling, cleaning, catering, water and lavatory servicing, and routine technical checks. Ground handling also includes loading and unloading of baggage, cargo, and mail, as well as the use of ground support equipment such as belt loaders, tow tractors, and ground power units. Efficient ground handling is essential to minimize aircraft turnaround time and maintain
