He Government will establish the conditions for any commercial airline operator to provide ground assistance to aircraft and passengers at airports throughout the country, ending the monopoly of Intercargo which was the only operator that could provide these services to third parties.
In this sense, commercial airlines are the first operators authorized and certified by the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) to provide handling services, including ramp and passenger services, to other airlines.
In turn, in the coming days the ANAC will implement the measure that will allow regulating the provision for the authorization of more operators, achieving greater competitiveness and expansion in the service offered at airports.
Therefore, in the first instance, airlines will be able to provide services to other companies. And then, in a second stage, progress will be made so that any natural person or legal entity that meets the necessary operational and commercial aviation safety conditions can provide these services at all airports in the country.
It is worth noting that the liberalisation of airport handling services has been demanded for years by the chambers that bring together airlines, as a way of making it more efficient.
Which services are being demonopolized?
– Ramp services, which include: aircraft towing, passenger boarding and disembarking, luggage loading and unloading, aircraft cleaning, loading of drinking water, toilet drainage, removal of organic waste, etc.
– The fueling service, that is, fuel supply.
– Also included are passenger and crew transport services on the platform, ground transport, disembarkation and embarkation of disabled persons, luggage packing, etc.
In this way, the most successful models in the world are taken as an example, such as that of the United States, and that of Brazil in the region, where there are currently around 500 ramp operators, which generates more employment and services for small and medium-sized cities.
It is important to note that the monopoly of Intercargo, which was the only company authorised to offer this service before this transformation and deregulation of air transport, is coming to an end. This measure is essential for operations to be carried out safely, quickly and efficiently.
