Cargo operations in a professional warehouse

Capabilities

Services that keep the station moving.

Eight connected lines of work, delivered to aviation standards and coordinated as one operation.

Consultancy meeting over operational documents

01 — Consultancy

Aviation and cargo consultancy

We help operators design, stress-test, and improve station processes before the first flight or the next audit. Advice is practical, written in plain language, and built for the people who will use it on shift.

  • Station start-up and operating model design
  • Ground and cargo process reviews
  • SOP, safety, and quality documentation support
  • Vendor, SLA, and performance frameworks

02 — Ground handling

Ramp and station handling

Turnarounds succeed when marshalling, servicing, loading, and passenger flows are sequenced, not improvised. Vast Hand provides disciplined ground handling support focused on safety and on-time departure.

  • Ramp coordination and aircraft servicing support
  • Load, baggage, and unit-load handling
  • Passenger and flight-watch liaison
  • GSE and airside movement discipline

03 — Cargo handling

Import, export, and special cargo

Freight is accepted, built, broken, documented, and released with a clear chain of custody. We handle general cargo and the shipments that need extra care: perishable, pharmaceutical, high-value, and awkward loads.

  • Acceptance, screening liaison, and documentation
  • ULD build-up and breakdown
  • Special cargo and dangerous-goods awareness
  • Airline and forwarder communication on milestones

04 — Fuel arrangements

Fuel coordination you can plan around

Uplift is arranged against the flight schedule, not hoped for on the day. We coordinate with fuel suppliers and airside teams so quantity, timing, and safety distances are settled before the aircraft is on stand.

  • Into-plane fuel coordination
  • Uplift planning against slots and turnaround windows
  • Supplier liaison and exception handling
  • Support for ad-hoc and diversion flights
Airport transfer ready for arriving crew

05 — Crew transfers

Crew movements that protect rest and punctuality

Flight and cabin crew need transport that understands duty times, hotels, and last-minute aircraft changes. Vast Hand arranges reliable airport–hotel transfers with discreet, professional drivers and live coordination.

  • Airport to hotel and hotel to airport transfers
  • Night and irregular-ops coverage
  • Meet-and-assist for positioning crews
  • Backup planning when weather or delays shift the roster

06 — Cargo consolidation

Smarter build-up. Cleaner manifests.

Consolidation is how cost and capacity are recovered without losing control of the shipment. We group, plan ULDs, and keep each house shipment visible through to the airline handover.

  • Groupage and station consolidation
  • ULD and weight-and-balance friendly planning
  • Forwarder and shipper cut-off management
  • Secure holding prior to flight close-out

07 — Airport cleaning services

Presentation that matches aviation standards

Cleaning on an airport is not ordinary janitorial work. Access, security, aircraft interiors, and passenger areas all have their own rules. Vast Hand provides cabin and facility cleaning that leaves the station ready for the next movement.

  • Aircraft cabin and lavatory presentation
  • Terminal, office, and facility cleaning
  • Turnaround and night-stop programmes
  • Hygiene controls aligned with airport requirements
Temperature controlled storage facility

08 — Warehousing and cold rooms

Secure storage, including temperature control

Not every shipment flies the same day, and some cannot sit at ambient temperature. Our warehousing and cold-room facilities protect inventory, maintain chain of custody, and keep perishable and pharmaceutical cargo in range.

  • Bonded and general cargo storage support
  • Cold-room facilities for perishables and pharmaceuticals
  • Inventory control and release against documents
  • Staging for build-up, breakdown, and truck handover

Need more than one service?

Most clients do. Ask for a combined station package and we will scope it as one operation.
