Hey OliWW, i'm not claiming to know anything you dont but as much as what you said is true, they decide the contracts on a 'local' basis and if it were the case that either a) they were dissatisfied with any element of Servisair's performance or b) they are using this as a cost cutting excersize then who knows. There is no swissport at EMA, so at the end of the day if either of the above are true then there is only one other option.
You may well be right, but it certainly wouldnt shock me if it went to Menzies but who knows, I guess we will find out soon. There are many people/handling agents/airlines up and down the country who have fallen victim to complacency over the last few years.
