| Manufacturers and Information |
 You may have the longest runways, the most incredible and expansive terminals, but with out GSE (Ground Service Equipment) to assist the aircraft, your flights are going no where! GSE is hard to come by, only few manufacturers offer sets. However it is becoming more popular and we are bound to see additional sets hit the market soon.

PPC manufactured 10 piece sets of GSE for 1:200 scale aircraft. They come unpainted and included catering truck, tow hook, tugs, baggage carts and conveyor etc. The GSE is a bit large and seems to fit 1:44 scale a bit better. |

Select aircraft come with a piece of ground equipment. GSE includes baggage equipment, stairs, catering truck etc. Two sets of GSE were released in Hawaiian colors, however due to the lack of demand from consumers no further GSE will be produced by Jet-X |
