Apron Management
Professional Certificate course, face-to-face:

Brief

All airports have a responsibility to "manage" the risks associated with an aircraft turnaround and
ensure safety is never compromised. However, statistically the apron can be the most dangerous
place at an airport where unusual types of specialist equipment and people with different priorities
gather to undertake their work, often under immense pressure due to time and space constraints.
However, it is a fact that a well-managed apron will not only reduce accidents but also improve
efficiency and customer service.
