Tcx/myt @ Cwl

Mather, as yet no-one knows what is happening at CWL.
TCX have the majority stake, however TCX are handled by a number of different handling agents throughout the country, including servisair.
MYT self handle in MAN, swissport in BHX, and everywhere else is Servisair, surely streamlining with one company is cheaper.

(and perhaps they are not keen of Servisair at CWL)?
What a load of cp
MYT are more than happy with servisair at CWL, with constant early departures as a results of very effiecient crew, a great working relationship between servisair and the crew, and Aviance ramp.
Servisair CWL are the 2nd best in the country for excess baggage for MYT, coming 2nd to i believe LGW (higher than their main base where they self handle in MAN)

As for servisair laying off staff, these are the temp staff that come and unfortunately go at the end of the season, not uncommon throughout the world?
MYT havent had a winter base for years at CWL so i find it unlikely they will close because of this, and as far as im aware, this is the busiest winter for Thomson flights in years.

Most handling agents throughout the country need to cut costs and save money, and in many airports, one agent handles the baggage for many others (GBS @ MAN & LGW) so this may be why Aviance may take over the baggage handling as it works well for both companies.
