ANALISIS KINERJA GROUND HANDLING GUNA MENINGKATKAN KESELAMATAN AREA SISI UDARA DI BANDAR UDARA INTERNASIONAL YOGYAKARTA

Bandar Udara Internasional Yogyakarta itu letak nya di Kabupaten Kulon
Progo berdekatan di Kota Yogyakarta, untuk memastikan keselamatan
penerbangan, terutama di sisi udara, Bandar Udara Internasional Yogyakarta harus
meningkatkan kinerja personel ground handling. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah
untuk mengevaluasi kinerja ground handling dalam mengoperasikan kendaraan dan
peralatan Ground Support Equipment (GSE) sesuai dengan peraturan SKEP
140/VI/1999. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif, dan data
dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi lapangan.Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelanggaran prosedur di sisi udara terus terjadi,
seperti kendaraan GSE melintas di depan pesawat yang sedang taxiing dan
peralatan yang tidak segera dipindahkan setelah digunakan. Di antara penyebabnya
adalah kurangnya pelatihan rutin, kurangnya sumber daya visual untuk mengajar di
tempat kerja, dan budaya kerja yang tidak menempatkan keselamatan sebagai hal
yang paling penting.Menurut analisis, ada kemungkinan terjadinya insiden karena
implementasi SOP belum dijalankan secara konsisten. Kesimpulannya, untuk
mewujudkan operasional bandara yang aman, efisien, dan profesional, pelatihan
rutin, penggunaan media edukatif, dan budaya keselamatan dapat meningkatkan
kinerja ground handling.

Yogyakarta International Airport is located in Kulong Progo Regency, close
to the city of Yogyakarta. To ensure flight safety, especially in the air, Yogyakarta
International Airport must improve the performance of its ground handling
personnel. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of ground
handling personnel in operating vehicles and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) in
accordance with Regulation SKEP 140/VI/1999. The method used is qualitative
descriptive, and data was collected through observation, interviews, and field
documentation. The research findings indicate that procedural violations on the
airside continue to occur, such as GSE vehicles crossing in front of aircraft during
taxiing and equipment not being promptly removed after use. Among the causes are
a lack of regular training, insufficient visual resources for on-the-job instruction,
and a work culture that does not prioritize safety. According to the analysis, there
is a possibility of incidents occurring due to inconsistent implementation of SOPs.
In conclusion, to achieve safe, efficient, and professional airport operations,
regular training, the use of educational media, and a safety-focused work culture
can enhance ground handling performance.
