    • PGSCB content is provided "as is" and "as available" for informational purposes only. IATA makes no warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
    • Ground Service Agents (PGSAs) need to understand airport and airline operations and liaise with other agencies (caterers, baggage handlers, security, law enforcement, immigration).
    • Technological advancements are key, with self-service options like online/kiosk check-in, e-boarding, and managing boarding passes/baggage tags becoming more prevalent.
    • PGSAs must adapt to rapid technological changes in passenger and baggage handling, larger aircraft, increasing passenger loads and airport numbers, commercialization of aviation, and new security measures.
    • Airports' development are influenced by geography, economy, and politics.
    • Airlines, airports, air navigation services, and regulators work together in the global air transportation system.
    • International regulations impact PGSAs and are based on ICAO standards and recommended practices (SARPs).
    • ICAO has 193 member states and produced 19 annexes with standards and recommended practices for airport operations.
    • ICAO does not directly oversee airlines, but local regulatory authorities (Civil Aviation Authorities, CAAs) do.
    • IATA supports inter-airline cooperation, has 290 members from 126 nations, and provides guidance materials and standards (ISARPs).
    • IATA manuals, such as the Passenger Services Conference Resolutions Manual (PSCRM), are crucial for PGSAs.
    • PSCRM covers passenger processing, ticketing, baggage, reservations, and miscellaneous resolutions, including those on passengers requiring assistance, inadmissible passengers, and baggage security regulations.
    • The IATA Baggage Reference Manual is another essential resource.

    Reservation Systems and CRS/GDS

    • Computerized Reservation Systems (CRS) and Global Distribution Systems (GDS) are used for airline reservations and distribution.
    • CRS/GDS systems provide user interfaces (GUI) for passengers and PGSAs, allowing tasks like checking schedules, availability, pricing, and booking/modifying tickets.
    • Systems offer various user types: registered users, who need logins and saved data, and guests, who only check availability and can't book.
    • Passengers often have the choice between registered or guest access.
    • PGSAs will need training on specific CRS/GDS systems they will be using.
