Egyptian Aviation Services (EAS) has signed an agreement with logistics technology provider EPG to implement a new digital Ground Handling System (GHS) across its operations in Egypt.
The move is part of EAS’s wider digital transformation strategy and is expected to modernise the company’s operational and billing processes while improving efficiency, transparency and regulatory compliance.
EAS currently provides ground handling services at six airports across Egypt, including ramp handling, passenger services and operational support. Many of its core processes have until now relied on manual and paper-based systems.
Under the agreement, EPG’s integrated GHS platform will digitise contract management, service recording and billing operations, enabling EAS to automate workflows and ensure all services are accurately invoiced.
Ahmed Elfangary, Chairman and Chief Executive of EAS, said the company was taking “a decisive step toward the digitalisation of our processes and positioning ourselves for the future”.
“We are confident that, with EPG’s solution, we will benefit in the long term from a robust system for our contract and billing management,” he added.
The new platform will include smart contract management tools, automated billing integration and operational support features designed to streamline day-to-day ground handling activities.
A key element of the project is the integration of the system with Egypt’s local tax authorities. Standardised XML-based reporting formats will allow tax-related data to be transmitted in compliance with national regulations.
EPG said the project demonstrated how aviation service providers are increasingly turning to integrated digital systems to improve operational performance while meeting regulatory requirements.
Ingo Richter, Chief Executive of Logistics Solutions at EPG, said the implementation would provide EAS with a “future-proof and scalable” solution for managing its ground handling operations.
The project is currently in the implementation phase.
