About TCR

We keep airports moving. Literally.

At TCR, we’re not the ones flying the planes, but without us, they don’t leave the ground.

We make sure that the equipment used on airport ramps, like pushbacks, belt loaders, aircraft tractors and baggage carts—is always ready to perform. We rent it, maintain it, fix it, optimise it, and even give it a second life. This equipment is called Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and we are world leaders in it.

We work behind the scenes at more than 245 airports in 24 countries, partnering with airlines, airports and ground handlers. We help them operate safely, efficiently and on time. Our technicians, engineers, project managers and support teams make that happen.

Our work isn’t just technical, it’s environmental too. We repair and reuse thousands of machines, reducing waste and cutting emissions. We rethink how fleets should be managed, and we’re leading the way in electric GSE.

Want to work in aviation without being in the air? Want to be part of a global company with a human scale? You’ve just found your ticket.
