Seems like Swissport have won the national contract for Flybe. Not sure where this leaves Menzies at Birmingham.
The problem with theses 'National contracts' is that they are agreed by senior members of a particular handling agent with the heads of the respective airline for a fixed price. The problem being is that these contracts then fall on the individual stations to service when it may not be possible to make any meaningful return due to a higher local cost structure. Lets just say if true - Goodluck Swissport MAN
