By uniting local experts in an innovative multi-station network, we provide customer airlines with streamlined access to a full palette of high-quality, customised passenger, ramp and cargo services.

The leading European
ground handling alliance

Precisely at a time when efficient handling of passengers and cargo are of key importance for global airlines the well-established and professional European ground handling companies AeroGround Flughafen München GmbH, Goldair Handling, AAS Airline Assistance Switzerland and GH Italia have formed a pan-European strategic network.

What we do

ground.net is an entirely new concept for conducting ground handling business in Europe. The goal of the partnership is to provide airlines with a multi-station network alternative alongside the global players. ground.net provides various services in the area of passenger, ramp and cargo handling, de-icing and more as a strategic partnership.

ground.net relies on its members’ local expertise and offer global operating airline customers the benefits of network-based ground handling services in Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom and the Scandinavian countries Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway.
