I think that you would agree that Aviance would not have taken a loss making contract on at BHX, as it was one of their few profitable bases.... WHY?
The MON agreement has been signed with Servisair post the Aviance buy (hence just announced offically), and so all the rates and t & c are Servisair agreed. Maybe Servisair are now using their size to "crush" their remaining competition ....very understandable... I would look out for this at many stations.
The rates offered by Aviance were higher than the present Swissport rates (not taking into account any cross subsidy/discount package with LGW or MAN), but SERVICE was the deciding factor.
I am sure MON are nervious as I am sure that they were not expecting the highly respected Aviance BHX management team to have been replaced.....
