CONSULTING
Trend Aviation is able to provide a wide range of coordination and representative services by working together with handling companies so as to achieve our customers goals and more important by keeping the cost down.
Customer support is given the highest priority. Therefore, the company specialises in consultancy services for the optimisation of quality in all fields of aviation ground handling.
We offer performance enhancement in the following areas:
Aircraft handling
- Ground Procedures
- Turnaround management
- Punctuality improvement
We understand how critical it is to keep the aircraft turnaround times to a minimum. On-time departures provide you with cost savings and greater passenger satisfaction. Delays affect the rest of the daily operation.
- For optimizing the ground time and limiting delays we have implemented some effective procedures. To ensure punctuality, safety and quality
we undertake the supervision of all ramp activities. Disembarkation and Boarding of Passengers, Loading / Unloading of Baggages.
- We ensure that all services (fuelling, cleaning e.t.c) will be ready to act immediately for a quick turnaround. Due to an excellent relationship
reinforced through the years of experience with airport staff (CAA, Fuel Companies) we get a consistent and improved level of services in
very difficult situations too.
- We cooperate with crews for any special requirements e.g. extra cleaning, special catering.
- We have full control and a complete overview of all turnaround related information.
Detailed analysis of current processes, involvement and delegation
As today the conditions in the markets and in business organisations are changing more often and more radically than ever before, the duties across the workforce can become less well defined.
Everybody's doing someone else's job in order to reduce the cost. For this reason in the aviation market as well, most of the daily operational procedures have been outsourced to third parties.
The effective implementation of this daily workflow for having successful results depends on teamwork. Experience has also proven that even minor mistakes to existing procedures can have a big impact on the daily operation. To reduce risk, we take action before a minor problem will lead to a major failure. Therefore we analyze, monitor, involve and delegate on a 24 hour-basis.
Once the target is selected we define the parameters. We prioritise the tasks that have to be accomplished according to their importance and urgency. When we identify the problem, we will carefully analyze the causes, discuss them and finally advice and support by giving you solutions. We monitor all the daily current processes. We never take satisfactory performance for granted. We use the information technology systems to check directly what is happening at any stage. This gives us also the opportunity to assess personal abilities and supply you with specific small tricks and consummate skill to improve your performance. There are a number of ways in which we review your performance. Through written reports, daily and monthly statistics and personal observations we analyze your achievements and in case something got wrong we analyze the reasons, give you feedback and ensure that similar mistakes will be avoided in the future.

Special actions for saving costs and improving customer satisfaction.
We, in Trend Aviation build relationships based on trust. The results speak for themselves as we have excellent communication with Ground Handling Companies, Fuel Companies, Civil Aviation Authorities in order to have the best service and support under difficult circumstances avoiding further delays or bad Passenger Handling which is a serious cost saving for the carrier and also contributes to keeping the company's public image solid and intact, as well as improving customer satisfaction.
