Obviously, entering the ground handling business has some risks such as increased liability, financial losses, as well as negative customer and airline relations if the operation is not done correctly. One aspect of the business that should be closely analyzed is the labor pool and the turnover that normally occurs with the low-paying jobs. Airport Business Solutions recently conducted a feasibility study for a foreign carrier that was interested in expanding into the cargo ground handling business at a number of large hub commercial airports in the United States. In this analysis, we carefully analyzed the labor market, turnover rates, profit margins, barriers of entry, culture traits and other data to assist the airline in making an informed decision. In the end, the carrier decided not to proceed with the expansion due to the extensive cultural differences. In their county, a position at the airport was in high demand versus the mentality of the US work force. In other words, airports must recognize that the competition for employees in such positions is much different than that for administrative positions, and that the “personal bonus program” can be a problem in the ground/baggage handling industry.
