• ED Decision 2025/007/R found in: Ground Handling (GH) (2025/23 and 2025/20) (Nov 2025)

##### GM2 ORGH.MGM.200(b)(2)(ii) General requirements for the management system *ED Decision 2025/007/R* **EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN** (a) It is recommended that the ERP cover any type of emergency in which the GH organisation may be involved. (b) An emergency response may be required even when the aircraft operator does not disseminate its ERP to the GH organisation. However, the GH organisation should consider whether it is liable for emergencies that are exclusively related to the safety of its own services and how it should respond to them as part of its business continuity plan. (c) The ERP at the corporate level: (1) sets out how the procedures of the GH organisation are coordinated with the ERP of the aerodrome operator(s) and other entities that will respond during emergency situations; (2) defines the roles and responsibilities of the GH organisation; and (3) describes the procedures for notifying and/or communicating with the aircraft operator(s), the aerodrome operator(s) and other relevant entities. (d) At the station level, it is recommended that the GH organisation be responsible for the following actions: (1) apply the aerodrome ERP, as well as the aircraft operator’s station ERP; (2) define and document the roles and responsibilities of the organisation at stations; (3) establish a timeline of actions to be taken in response to emergency events; (4) ensure that the station personnel are properly trained in relation to the organisation’s ERP; (5) participate as required in any emergency exercises and training run by the aircraft operator and/or aerodrome operator; (6) review the own station ERP to ensure its relevance. (e) A small GH organisation may scale the ERP to its size. If it operates at more than one station, the corporate and station‑level plans can be combined. (f) The obligation to follow the aircraft operator’s ERP, as per its service contract, remains applicable at all times.
