heresay that we had from management that the deal would be finalised by the end

Anyone got a news on this subject? Heard rumors the deal should be completed before xmas. Prior to the easy contracts servisair won at BRS, LPL & BFS, we may still work for servisair. However a new uniform could be coming our way.

Does anybody have any idea about the current romour that the swissport take over of servisair is not going to happen? I 've heard that the competition ruling body has not cleared it and that Dnata has stepped in and bought it instead??????????

I hope it happens soon as Servisair are a pain in the a*** at BHX!
We can never find any chocks or cones when setting up a stand to meet aircraft, only to see Servisair tugs and EBT's driving round with them stacked on the back! - The cones even say 'Menzies Aviation' and have Blue tape on them!

Looks like the competition body has said no to the take over??? 
Does anybody know what the concessions they have offered? Most likely they'll sell off other airports to other handlers to keep the competition!

In most cases like this the competitions comittee eventually approve the takeover, however, the company involved (swissport) usually has to sell off some assets in order that they do not dominate the market, also, even after the deal has gone through the comittee can still order them to sell off even more assets.
and its not always their poorly performing assets that they sell off, as they are nominated by the comittee. Interesting times ahead yet

Concessions
It would appear that Swissport have agreed to sell a number of stations to an "active competitor" in order to get clearance for the deal. The details of the stations concerned are not yet in the public domain.

I presume that when you state "swissport bhx" to go up for sale that you mean just the present swiisport operation ?
Interesting times ahead at bhx, obviously they are one of the "concessions" offered to placate the comission ?, also gla/ncl ??
wonder who could be in the running to come into bhx, would have thought menzies will not be considered as they would then monopolize ground handling at bhx, so dnata a posibility, or asig, wfs ??

Swissport/servisair
Anymore news on which stations the monopolies commission said, they must sell once the merger is completed. Heard a few rumours that the ground handling company Asig UK, may takeover certain locations. Should all be completed come 18th of December, change is coming.
