ECS Group has lauded the remarkable work of Global Services Handling (GSH), a French air cargo handling company based at Roissy Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport near Paris.
"As in all sectors, we need to reorganise the way we work because of the crisis. Our staff levels are down 25 per cent but we are continuing to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said GSH managing director Pierre Perez.
In addition to the increased risks and greater workload as a result of reduced staffing levels, GSH's agents also have to tackle the unpredictable nature of flight scheduling, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
With extra flights being operated and others postponed, cancelled or delayed for regular flights and even more so for repatriation and all-cargo flights, flexibility and versatility are essential.
However, Mr Perez describes "an amazing sense of team spirit, togetherness and solidarity" among his colleagues. "We're all pulling together - we know that our work is essential in order to transport goods and keep the local and global economy running. Helping to save lives by transporting medical products is also a real source of motivation."
