Baggage handling and the storage and transport of cargo at airports, typically occurs in strictly secured areas behind the scenes. At the GSE Expo 2026 trade show, taking place in Lisbon from September 15 to 17, these logistics processes will be the focus of attention. At Booth H25 in the outdoor area of the FIL (Feira Internacional de Lisboa), intralogistics specialist Linde Material Handling (MH) will showcase vehicles and solutions designed to move loads quickly and reliably on the ground, while offering the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passenger numbers for European and intercontinental air travel are slowly returning to pre-COVID levels, and according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global air cargo volume is expected to grow by approximately 2.6 percent this year. This makes it even more important for logistics managers at airports to ensure that ground transportation processes are perfectly coordinated. Linde MH offers one of the broadest portfolios on the market, with vehicle models suited for a variety of ground handling scenarios, from last-minute baggage transport to a waiting aircraft to the handling of bulky and heavy cargo items. \u201cHigh vehicle availability is essential in ground handling, where time is a critical factor,\u201d says Russell Parker, Managing Director of SM Rental, a Linde MH subsidiary specialized in airports. It is also important that the vehicles can be tailored to the specific needs of airport operators. \u201cLinde MH meets these requirements with robust, high-performance vehicles that can also be individually customized thanks to a wide range of models, equipment variants and options,\u201d adds his colleague Marc Castro, Senior Strategy and Portfolio Manager Warehouse Trucks. Another key asset is Linde MH\u2019s extensive service network, which offers high service quality and fast response times. This creates a one-stop shop solution for logistics managers at airlines, cargo and baggage handling companies and airport operators. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that this will be very well received by trade visitors at the\u00a0GSE Expo<\/strong>\u00a0,\u201d says Marc Castro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having a reliable fleet of vehicles, transparency is becoming an increasingly important issue. Access to and analysis of data are essential to improving operational efficiency. To this end, Linde MH has launched its web-based customer portal\u00a0myLinde<\/strong>. It allows operators to clearly and easily manage, control, and digitally analyze their vehicle fleet. The application also optimizes battery charging management and enables data-driven improvements in operational safety. \u201cWith myLinde, you can see which vehicle is currently in use, where each vehicle is located, and the battery charge status of each vehicle \u2013 all of which is clearly displayed on a dashboard,\u201d explains Portfolio Manager Castro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
