Could Swissport be in with a chance of loosing one of their biggest contracts - Thomsonfly? Rumour has it around NCL that they are less than happy about the service they are receiving Swissport, even more so since on sunday a handling vehicle had a minor collision with one of the carriers 737 a/c, causing a substantial delay! Maybe things will be looking up for Servisair. I do think Swissport have bitten off more than they can chew and this is fairly evident for anyone who walks through NCL airport and looks at the ques for TOM, XLA etc. Or is it the airports fault, as numerous times all you hear is announcements apologising for the failure in the baggage belts?!

I was under the impression that it was highly unlikely that eay would base anymore a/c at NCL until they have solved their crewing issues, which is a networkwide problem. Maybe if routes to BUD and SXF were not making the right profit, they will be dumped but NCE was performing well, wasn't it?
Also is the problems with XLA beginning to resurface at NCL? Numerous delays over past few days, all affecting one a/c - yes the TF reg 737-400. This is not including the number of times it has had to tech stop on flights already this season. On the plus side, with both the Finnair a/c and FJE (soon to also be AY a/c) operating onbehalf of XLA the majority of their operation seems to have improved. But once again the 734 seems to be not the right a/c for what it is doing and is it true that XLA have leased the a/c for another a couple of years!
