Ramp & flight operation

Samsic Assistance combines the flexibility of a start-up with the means of a multinational group to provide quality ramp handling services. We adapt to all airline needs and expectations and offer a wide range of innovative and customised solutions and services: from aircraft loading and unloading; GPU/ASU/ACU (Ground Power Units/Air Start Units/Air Conditioning Units); push back; towing; baggage sorting; oversized baggage handling; cabin baggage transfer to the hold; water cartage; lavatory drainage; de-icing and anti-icing.

We are the preferred flight coordination partner for airlines. Our flight coordinators oversee operations between the various ramp service providers: amongst others, they check that equipment and teams are delivered, or arrive, as scheduled; ascertain why a flight is delayed; and set up mobile jetways at parking stands for flight arrivals.

By outsourcing these essential tasks to Samsic Assistance, you can optimize your performance and concentrate on your core business.
