Aircraft stairs are very important not only for the passengers but the maintenance personnel. A good set of air stairs allows for a safe and easy entry and exit from the aircraft. Aircraft stairs may also be called airstairs, aircraft steps, passenger boarding stairs, crew stairs, maintenance stairs, or simply boarding stairs. In any case, the stairs provide a mobile means to traverse between aircraft doors and the ground.

Belt loaders are vehicles with conveyor belts for unloading and loading of baggage and cargo on aircraft.

Airport tugs use a low-profile design to fit under the aircraft nose to reduce the possibility of accidental contact with the aircraft being pushed back. Pushback is an airport procedure during which an aircraft is pushed back away from an airport gate.

Cargo loaders, container loaders or "K loaders", are used for the loading and unloading of containers and pallets into and out of aircraft.

Aircraft deicers are used when removing compacted snow and ice with a shovel or blade just isn't possible. They generally dispense a heated, pressurized deicing mixture upon an aircraft to help remove built-up ice and snow.

Aircraft ground power units or GPUs provide DC and/or AC power to the aircraft while on the ground. These units are used to help start engines, perform maintenance, or provide general onboard power while the aircraft is serviced in the hangar or on the ramp.

Aircraft refueler/ defuelers can be either a self-contained fuel truck or a fuel cart. Fuel trucks are self-contained, typically containing up to 10,000 US gallons of fuel and have their own pumps, filters, hoses, and other equipment. Fuel trucks typically deliver the fuel to the aircraft.

Air start units provide the initial rotation to start large aircraft jet turbine engines. This unit blows airflow into the turbines engines.

Lavatory service trucks or lav trucks are a self-contained lavatory service solution. Units come with various tank sizes for waste and rinse.
