EVALUASI PENGAWASAN APRON MOVEMENT CONTROL TERHADAP PERGERAKAN BAGGAGE TOWING TRACKTOR DI BANDARA INTERNASIONAL KUALANAMU DELI SERDANG

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengawasan Apron Movement Control terhadap pergerakan Baggage Towing Tractor (BTT) di Bandar Udara Internasional Kualanamu, Deli Serdang. Latar belakang penelitian didasari oleh tingginya tingkat risiko operasional di sisi udara yang membutuhkan pengawasan ketat terhadap kendaraan Ground Support Equipment (GSE). Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi langsung, wawancara semi terstruktur, dan dokumentasi lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelanggaran SOP seperti kecepatan berlebih, penggunaan jalur yang tidak sesuai, dan kurangnya kepatuhan terhadap prosedur masih sering terjadi. Penyebab utama antara lain adalah kurangnya pelatihan, lemahnya sistem pengawasan, dan rendahnya kesadaran terhadap budaya keselamatan. Oleh karena itu, disarankan peningkatan sistem pengawasan berbasis teknologi, pelatihan yang komprehensif, serta penerapan budaya kerja yang mengutamakan keselamatan demi mendukung operasional bandara yang aman dan efisien.

This study aims to evaluate the performance of service road supervision on
Baggage Towing Tractor (BTT) movements at Kualanamu International Airport,
Deli Serdang. The background of the study stems from the high operational risk in
the airside area, requiring strict supervision of Ground Support Equipment (GSE)
vehicles. A qualitative descriptive method was used, with data collection techniques
including direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and field documentation.
The findings indicate that violations of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), such
as overspeeding, improper lane use, and procedural non-compliance, frequently
occur. The main contributing factors include insufficient training, weak monitoring
systems, and low awareness of safety culture. Therefore, it is recommended to
improve technology-based supervision systems, provide comprehensive training,
and foster a safety-oriented work culture to ensure safe and efficient airport
operations.
