What may sound like a Sherlock Holmes story was, in fact, the title of a panel at the recent Aviation Connect event in Istanbul, Türkiye: ‘The Case for Minimum Ground/Cargo Handling Operating Standards,’ moderated by ACHL’s own Chairperson, Henrik Ambak. He brought together IATA’s Director Ground Operations, Monika Mejstrikova, TIACA’s Director General, Glyn Hughes, Wilson Kwong, CEO of HACTL, Julia Egerer, EASA’s Aerodromes Standards & Implementation Section Manager, and KLM’s Director Operational Integrity, Compliance & Safety – ISCM, Kester Meijer, to assess the status quo and discuss the need for uniform ground /cargo handling standards across the aviation industry.
