Ground-Handling Companies Cry for Help as Business Comes to Virtual Halt
April 20, 2020
Indonesia’s aircraft ground-handling companies have asked for a rescue package from the government to keep them afloat as business has come to a virtual standstill as a result of the harsh impact of COVID-19 on the country’s aviation business.
Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Ground-Handling Companies (AGHI), Ida Pangelingsir Agung Putra Sukahet, said demand for aircraft ground-handling had plunged sharply during the past two months as most airlines had cut their flight frequency or even suspended their operations.
