to handle whom? there is no point, I don't see a withdrawal on the cargo side as they are the biggest (only?) independent player in that market with handling and a shed

Unhappy

I understand that German Wings and Air Berlin movement is public knowlegde, but Pegasus seems to be new news, appears you are an insider, is this confirmed or just rumour, and if confirmed when does Swissport start to handle Pegaus?

Just a rumour, I heard today that Menzies had got that as well!

What ever happens it's not good news for Servisair, though TUPE will proect some staff I'm sure

I wonder why anyone would fly with an unknown Icelandic airline when they can fly with Britain's largest airline from KEF to Luton - dates I checked in June were £30 cheaper with EZY!

Presumably to avoid Luton!

it has now been made official that Servisair will pull off the ramp during the first week of february next year.In another twist it is rumoured that they are considering a merge with swissport for the cargo operation in an attempt to keep menzies out.Interesting times ahead.

Servisair.

I heard yesterday that they were handing over all passenger operations to Menzies effective 5th February 2012. and that all staff would TUPE. the Airport Agencies and Cargo operations are uneffected. I dont know about the ramp staff as they were part of cargo I understand.

that would seem to be at conflict with the post above about cooperation with Swissport.

no doubt someone that works for Servisair will clarify what the actual position is shortly when they have absorbed the news. I feel very sorry for all the Servisair staff, it used to be a fantastic operation at Stansted and soon it will be gone.

It's nothing to do with Gatwick specifically, otherwise the 3 other destinations wouldn't be under threat as well

Well at least it was after they left STN or this thread would have been full of Lutoners saying it all Stansteds fault .

Thats because Air Asia's LGW-KUL fares are no longer particulary attractive. Even if you can get the lowest promo fare its around £470 return (before all the add-on's) For not a lot more you can get a return with a major carrier with perhaps one short stop in AMS or DXB and a lot better service!
