Global Load Control (GLC) was proudly represented at the Ground Handling User Group (GHUG) 2025 in London this week by two members of our Database Management & Configuration team: Beatrix Eickhoff, Manager: Weight & Balance System Configurations, and Qondile Mawela, Configuration Specialist.
Their participation reinforces GLC’s active role in shaping the future of airline system configuration, Centralised Load Control (CLC), and digital operational standards across the aviation industry.
