Editing Airport (section)

=== Airport ground crew (ground handling) ===
{{Main|Ground support equipment}}Each airport hires its own ground crew to process flights, cargo, passengers, and baggage. When a flight arrives, ramp services navigate a baggage cart to the aircraft. Bags are then sorted and transported by baggage handlers. Ramp services handle aircraft marshaling, the process in which aircraft arrive or depart from the gate. Once passengers and/or cargo is unloaded, a cleaning crew prepares the aircraft for its next flight by loading supplies and preparing other in-flight services. Ground crew will fuel the aircraft, and other visual inspections are conducted. Efficient work allows aircraft to have fast turnaround times of as little as 25 minutes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Unsung Heroes: A Day in the Life of an Airport Ground Handler |url=https://www.i6.io/blog/unsung-heroes-a-day-in-the-life-of-an-airport-ground-handler |access-date=2025-04-03 |website=i6.io}}</ref>[[File:KLM 777 pushback.jpg|thumb|An aircraft tow tractor moving a [[KLM]] [[Boeing 777]] at [[Tokyo Narita]]]]
