Ground support equipment Unconfirmed
Taiwan Aviation Services (台灣航勤股份有限公司, TASCO)
Operates the ramp ground-support-equipment fleet at its Kaohsiung station as part of standard ground handling (towing, marshalling, baggage/cargo carts). A documented green-energy GSE push (~35 units, 4 electric tow tractors) is attested for TASCO, but the underlying 2017 reporting names Taoyuan (TPE), not Kaohsiung — so that specific fleet count does not verify for KHH and is dropped from this line; the general claim that TASCO runs KHH ramp GSE stands (implicit in providing ground handling) but the equipment inventory itself is unconfirmed.
