The airport authorities are seeking robust solutions to manage ground operations due to rising air passenger traffic and aircraft fleet size across the MEA. The ground handler plays an important role in airport operations; however, airports observe shorter turnaround times among ground handlers, which disrupts the operations. Further, another significant concern among the airport authorities is the lack of skilled ground handling personnel. Numerous airport authorities are seeking software-based ground handling managers to manage databases centrally and avoid massive disruptions in operations caused by ground handlers, thus enabling users to access the system through easy-to-use web pages. Moreover, the advantage of using software-based solutions for ground handling operations has attracted several airport authorities. Currently, the demand for cloud-based ground handling software has increased among the authorities. This majorly pertains to the advantages of the cloud-based software, such as it provides real-time insights, offers post-operational statistics and automated invoice issuance, enhances quality control, and increases operation clarity.
With new features and advanced technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA ground handling software market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
