AHS1000 - Airport Handling Standards

The Objectives of AHS 1000
In order to follow the theme of simplicity, there are only three simple objectives to AHS 1000.

1. Implement an accurate quality measurement and control system (AHS 1000).

2. Agree a comprehensive set of standards based upon the highest level of service required by carriers handled at that location.

3. Provide participating Carriers with accurate measured results on an agreed time scale.

The fact that a Handling Company goes through the implementation process, does not automatically mean that they will receive AHS 1000 accreditation. If they do not meet the objectives above, they will not achieve accreditation. A Handling Company needs to be sure that it can meet these three objectives before applying for AHS 1000.

A Handling Company will be checked every year to ensure that they continue to meet these objectives. If they do not continue to meet these objectives, they will lose their AHS 1000 accreditation. AHS 1000 adds value to a Handling Company and must be seen as a credible system by the Carriers which choose those Handling Companies.

Any Handling Companies with AHS 1000 accreditation may display the AHS logo on their letterheads, business cards and in the Airport Handling Services Directory in this Website.
