The representative body of the global airline industry, the International Air Transport Association (Iata), has launched an online platform to help airlines more efficiently implement the Iata Ground Operations Manual (IGOM). This manual is the globally recognised standard for ground handling of aircraft and related systems, irrespective of geography or climate. The online platform is called the IGOM Portal. Using it, and with the IGOM as their primary reference source, ground service providers (GSPs) and airlines can exchange information on their ground handling needs, including any variations regarding these requirements.
