Groundforce says, “The renewal of this certification, almost two years passed after the beginning of a pandemic that disproportionately affected the aviation sector, is a source of immense pride and a demonstration that, despite the many uncertainties that surround us, everyone in Groundforce Portugal always puts the most important thing above everything else: providing a high-quality service and in total safety to their customers.”

According to APCER: “Despite the atypical circumstances experienced and the profound changes that the company and the sector are going through, the organization maintains its Integrated Management System operative and effective.”
