HANDLING TENDER FOR NEW AIR TERMINAL
Gibraltar Air Terminal Limited is inviting tender bids from interested parties to provide handling services at Gibraltar International Airport.
Gibraltar International Airport is undergoing significant investment and infrastructure improvement and a new terminal will be commissioned in 2011. The handling services contract will be awarded for a period of 7 years and covers all aspects of the management of passengers and baggage at the Airport.
The Minister for Transport, Joe Holliday, said “The new terminal will offer passengers unprecedented facilities and we look forward to engaging a handling company to provide the highest standards of equipment and services to compliment the new infrastructure. The Government has successfully started to attract increased capacity to air services to Gibraltar, new routes and airline customers. Gibraltar International Airport will soon have more airlines and more destinations available than ever before and this will make the task of providing quality handling services ever more important. The new contract will provide the parameters for the Government to build a strong working relationship with the handling company with the common aim of attracting more passengers to use Gibraltar International Airport.
