What is operating line?
Aircraft line operations refers to all of the various services performed on aircraft. This includes fueling, towing, deicing, loading & unloading and other services aircraft need between flights.
How do you fuel an aircraft?
In most cases airplanes are fueled in either of 2 methods; over-wing or center point. Over-wing is exactly that. The fueler opens a cap on the top of the wing, inserts the fuel nozzle and begins fueling. This is done on each wing. Center point fueling is done by attaching the fueling hose to a central point on the underside of the wing. Fuel is then fed to the tanks from this single connection. Proper safe fueling procedure also requires that metal fuel nozzles be grounded to the receiving aircraft before fueling is begun. This prevents a sparking electrical discharge from the plane to the hose which could cause a fire or explosion.
Why need airport and aircraft and benefits of both airport and aircraft?
Airports facilitate the ability to travel by aircraft - and aircraft enable the transport relatively quickly of peole, packages, and other things fueling economies, tourism, allowing rapid movement for oter cases like emergency rescues, etc.
Do aircraft become charged?
Yes, and this is dispersed through static wicks on the landing gear which discharge static charges into the ground on landing. Fuel tankers are also fitted with ground-lines which are connected to the aircraft before re- fueling takes place.
What is invalid passenger in aircraft?
An invalid passenger usually refers to a disabled or incapacitated passenger. Such passengers are obviously unable to exit the aircraft themselves if there were an emergency, so the FAA mandates that if the aircraft is to be refueled while passengers are aboard (which is a very common practice), if there are invalid passengers onboard there must be a fire crew standing by during fueling.
Where should non-essential personnel stand during fueling?

How long does it take to refuel an aircraft?
The LCC-airlines are trying to refuel in 25 minutes, and charter on 60 minutes. Remember that an aircraft also need catering, lavatory and water services, air conditioning ++, so the refueling takes as long time as the plane is on the ground. I think you might have seen the handling agents connect the aircraft to the fueling system before the passengers even have get off, and the last thing they do before push-back is to connect from the aircraft from the fueling pump. For short flights, it doesn't need to take long ti refuel, because the aircraft will have much left from the previous refueling, so that can go fast. On IC-flights, it can take 1 hour ++.
