ED Decision 2025/008/R
INTERFACES WITH GROUND HANDLING ORGANISATIONS AND AERODROME OPERATORS
When identifying aviation safety hazards posed by its activities, the operator could consider various interfaces with ground handling organisations and aerodrome operators and clarify the responsibilities of every party and function involved. Other stakeholders may be involved, depending on the contracted services.
Once the interfaces have been recognised, the operator could consider the critical nature of each interface, identify any hazards related to the interface and carry out joint hazard analyses and risk assessments.
While each organisation is responsible for identifying and managing hazards that affect it, operational safety benefits can be achieved through the enhancement of safety as a result of shared ownership of safety risks.
It is recommended that the aircraft operator uses the guidelines for establishing operational interfaces provided in the Manual on Ground Handling (ICAO Doc 10121), particularly Chapter 6 thereof.
