Menzies for example walked away from BHD having got the heads up that NY pulling out and EI contract going to Swissport. The same in BFS. If the carrier is contracted to a GHA and it moves into BFS who is to say DNATA for example dont move in or Menzies comes back.
swissport undercut menzies by a huge amount, namely 1.6 million per year. The fact that they are still handling is because of a likley clause. They have had 2 90 day and a 60 day improvement notices to buck their trend but know they can't be put out until someone makes themselves available eg, can put up a certain million of pounds in equipment and material
