For some time Servisair and Aviance have been holding talks to ensure they survive in the handling industry.
They have agreed not to low ball (undercut) on contracts.
Servisair and AVI have lost major contracts in the last few years, to new up and coming companies
The whole ground handling industry is going through its biggest ever change and the summer will see both companies exchanging contracts and deals,however,the airline will deside for themselves.
I am sure with yet more new companies like Gate Aviation and Caledonian Support Services moving into major UK Airports, the smaller companies do not have the overheads ,they will join together in some way to give the airlines an even better choice and they will not lowball to do this.
It has started already.
The older companies need to change quickly or they will nor survive in this moving industry.The winter will see some major changes in the UK.
Maybe it is a time to change
I can think of 4 companies that are under threat and
a new investment in the industry will be welcome.
