In various jobs I have had dealings with several Servisair stations and 3 aviance stations.
There is a right load of old cods being spoken about how great Servisair are as a whole. They are poor at STN, average at LGW, very average at GLA and have had the nickname Circusair for ages because they were so poor.
At LGW they have always been very low cost in their charges to the airlines, but then the service has also been low at times.
aviance have had growing pains for sure, and the reason they were going to leave CWL was due to it being loss making. The contract they had with BMI was not good for them. That was changed and CWL is now a good base for them.
aviance at LGW are shedding contracts as they look to ensure that they can make a profit. Any airline that doesn't earn enough has been asked to pay a significant amount more.
Servisair is doing the same at LGW
Wise up guys, there is enough work for all, the important thing is that resource is sufficient and that a profit is made. I still believe that it is more likely that Servisair hiked the Air Wales fee up more than the aviance offer rather than aviance undercutting.
