EASA's New Ground Handling Mandate: What Business Aviation Needs to Know

The new EASA Ground Handling Mandate (EU Regulation 20/2025), adopted on March 7, 2025, represents a fundamental shift in ground handling regulation at EU airports, with full applicability by March 2028. This mandate introduces stricter requirements for ground handling service providers, including compliance declarations, Safety Management Systems (SMS), detailed manuals, and continuous personnel competence. Business aviation operators, in particular, must ensure their ground service partners are compliant and integrated into their safety oversight, especially for ad-hoc operations. While demanding, this new framework aims to enhance safety, provide clarity, and streamline partnerships across the sector.
