BobBHX, I have had a number of frustrating issues with Swissport handling at BHX in the past 6 months. They are certainly NOT a model of efficiency, that's for sure. I'm also quite sure that the...

On the contrary, I know only too well how business operates, and I guess that's my real problem. I think that too many management teams today hide behind their standard well-rehearsed yuckspeak...

Yes, as I already mentioned some posts back, they have taken on all these additional airlines and routes but just don't have the means to handle it all. Disgraceful treatment of their customers!

Talking of Emirates A380s, I noticed yesterday's flight (A6-EUD) was delayed. On turning up for my flight to DUS this afternoon I noted UD was still in and on a remote stand. Waiting for parts?

Precisely! I'm a regular user of BHX and it's getting worse all the time. Paul Kehoe doesn't care a hoot about his customers as long as he rakes in the money.
