Cooling aircraft shouldn’t strain your infrastructure 🌬️

Airports are under pressure to reduce emissions and limit APU usage — yet many still face the same challenge:
👉 Limited power capacity
👉 High infrastructure costs
👉 Complex retrofits

Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) is part of the answer, but only when it’s implemented with the bigger picture in mind.

A smarter approach to PCA can help you:
• Reduce APU dependency and emissions
• Improve passenger comfort at the gate
• Optimize energy use without overloading your grid
• Scale across both existing gates and new terminals

It’s not just about cooling aircraft — it’s about enabling more efficient, electrified gate operations👌

Hose management solutions that make a difference 🦾

Efficiency and safety on the ramp start with the right hose management system.
Below are some options that work for you - not against you👷

💠Designed to enhance operational efficiency, airflow performance, and safety, the Air Coil is an excellent choice for hose management.
👉Check out this video that shows how easy it is to operate:

Airports are under pressure to reduce emissions — but not every stand has fixed PCA infrastructure in place.
That is why flexibility matters 🦾

The ITW GSE 3500 Mobile PCA gives airports and ground handlers a practical way to support sustainability goals without major infrastructure projects or costly gate modifications.

✔ Easy to deploy where cooling or heating is needed
✔ Reduces reliance on aircraft APUs
✔ Helps lower infrastructure costs
✔ Ideal for remote stands and temporary operations
✔ Supports changing operational demands and peak traffic periods

In our latest article, we explore how flexible PCA solutions may help airports align with new EU sustainability initiatives while maintaining efficient operations.

For airports balancing decarbonization targets with operational reality, mobile solutions can help bridge the gap 🌉

Increasing focus on airport sustainability in EU pushes the demand for flexible PCA solutions to meet reductions in APU usage and emissions

Electrification is no longer driven by regulation alone 🔌
It’s driven by operational teams choosing solutions that improve uptime, and create better working environments 👷‍♂️

Across the industry, electric GSE adoption continues even as policy signals shift.

Why? Because it simply works better:
⚡ More reliable operations
⚡ Less unplanned downtime
⚡ Better working conditions for ground crews

When equipment performs, decisions follow 🤝

Here’s the catch:
Performance doesn’t come from standalone units. It comes from how equipment works together at the gate.

👉 See how a system approach improves performance across your gate operations:

Reducing APU dependency starts at the gate ✈️
Every minute of APU use costs fuel — and increases emissions, noise, and complaints.

Airlines are under pressure to cut fuel burn, passengers expect comfort during turnarounds, and turnaround times need to stay predictable.

Enter EcoGate — enabling cleaner, more coordinated gate operations 🔋https://itwgse.com/ecogate/?utm_source=facebook-post&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ecogate-reduce-apu-23may26-facebook

What this means in practice 👉
🔹 More reliable ground power
🔹 Improved PCA performance
🔹 Faster aircraft readiness
🔹 Consistent electrified setups across gates

Moving to electric GSE means less reliance on the APU.
That’s better gate economics ✈️

Not every stand has fixed cooling infrastructure 🌬️
That’s why mobile PCAs continue to gain attention across the industry.

Last week, visitors from JAL Engineering Co., Ltd. (JALEC) - the MRO subsidiary of Japan Airlines (JAL) and Tamagawa Aero Systems joined us for a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of the ITW GSE 3500 Mobile PCA 🤝

The requirement was clear:
A mobile cooling solution capable of supporting demanding operational needs, including a dual 150 common refrigerant circuit configuration - and the unit passed the test with flying colors👌
