Flight/Ground Ops, Crewing and DispatchA forum for the people who are engaged in operational control/flight dispatch/crewing and their colleagues airside in ramp dispatch, load control and ground handling, to discuss issues directly related to keeping their aircrew and aircraft operational.
Trying to make a list of what handling agents handle what airlines at the major UK airport e.g. BHX MAN LGW LHR STN.
BHX I believe is the following: Aviance: Air Berlin, Air France, Austrian, BHAir, bmi, bmibaby, City Airline, Eastern Airways, Iberworld, KLM, KTHY, SAS, Thomas Cook Servisair: Adria, Aer Arann, Aer Lingus, Air India, Air Slovakia, Brussels Airlines, Continental, Croatia, easyJet, Emirates, European Air Charter, Freebird, Futura, Jet2.com, Norwegian, Onur Air, Ryanair, SkyEurope, Thomsonfly, Viking Airlines, XL Airways Swissport: Air Malta, Air Transat, Cyprus Airways, Eurocypria, First Choice Airways, flybe., FlyGlobespan, LTE, Monarch, MyTravel, PIA, Pegasus, SunExpress, Swiss, Turkmenistan ????: Centralwings, KoralBlue Airlines, Turkish Airlines
Air France, Air Malta, Air Transat, BH Air, British Airways, BMI, Cimber Air, Eastern, Emirates, Eurocypria, Jet2.com, FlyBe, Iberworld, KLM, Lufthansa, Monarch, Thomsonfly, TUIfly.com, Wideroe, XL Airways.
Unconfirmed
Air Southwest and Air Bee (could be Blue Air web).
A couple of changes regarding Aviance at bhx, They handle Lufthansa, Mytravel now the merger has gone through, Jet2.com, Britair, Austrian and BA charters.
No idea about Estonian Air, not heard of them at MAN. I think SAS is withdrawing from MAN (handling agent) so not sure who/what will happen to the airlines above, they also handle KLM. Please correct anything if wrong.
Announced yesterday at Gatwick that from 16th April 2008 Servisair will no longer handle Thomsonfly . Contract combined with Firstchoice Airlines will be handled by Swissport from the North Terminal from that date
BHX Swissport still handle MYT, well for another few weeks any. Air Contractors are handled by Servisair when working for Fedex and Swissport when not (very confusing).
The MYT 320 doesn't operate to MIR at the moment for MYT or TCX, although it does seem to fly at bit more often than the FCA 757. And the split in work is pretty straight forward, MYT flight number handled by Swissport and TCX by Aviance no matter who's a/c it is.
