Main technical content: The elevating apron service system refers to a special system composed of source equipment, pipelines, and elevating service platforms embedded in the apron ground, which is used to replace special vehicles such as power supply vehicles, air conditioning vehicles, water supply vehicles, and sewage vehicles to provide guarantee services for aircraft. A system based on this model has been installed and operated at Zhuhai Jinwan Airport for more than 24 years. The system operates safely, stably, and reliably, effectively reducing the number of apron guarantee vehicles, reducing exhaust emissions, reducing the risk of collisions with aircraft, and improving operational efficiency. It meets the airside development trend pointed out in the "Research and Practice Report on Smart Airport Development (International Edition)" issued by the Airport Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China in 2019, which states that "through the construction of apron pipe networks and the research and development of fixed-position aircraft guarantee equipment, directly providing aircraft with power supply, air conditioning, refueling, catering, and sewage treatment services, and reducing the use of special vehicles". It is an innovation of apron ground service guarantee equipment and operation methods, a model of new technology and equipment application in civil airports, and can effectively promote the construction of "safe, green, smart, and human-oriented" four-type airports, supporting the green, safe, efficient, and sustainable development of airports. The Civil Airports Association of China organized the compilation of the "Technical Specifications for Elevating Apron Service Systems in Civil Airports", aiming to promote the progress and application of this new technology and better guide the whole industry to advance the construction of four-type airports.
