So they will be having their own branded equipment but using Swissport staff to operate the equipment and still do all below wing activities? If so, that seems a little strange to me. Jet2 are at a size now where other bases went in house below the wing.

As Swissport have a monopoly on ground handling at the airport it makes it more difficult for the airlines, what are the choices now if they don’t like what Swissport is providing. Self handle, try and get another company into the airport, leave or just put up with Swissport service or take them to court if breaking any SLAs?
