Swissport have only had the flybe contract for a year so far, any idea whether it is to be extended after the BA Connect merger or are they going self-handling?

Why is this ? I thought Swissport were the market leaders for ground handling ?

Who is running the company ?

Hmmm Same as ours( ex Swiss ) ( Aviance though )... Not much change here yet! I think he's taken on more than he can chew!! We Welsh are hard to please!!!!

As he is known locally - pop-up, He's not great on his knowledge of the workings of a handling agent! I'd be surprised if we ( Aviance ) turn things around before next summer the way things are going!!! And I don't want to be here next summer!!! MANY pissed off with us after the takeover!!

Funny though as he's here during the quiet period! Winter will fix all, summer will **** on you!! Nice outlook!! Though still waiting for winter fixes!!!

Has anyone any experience with him at BHX?? Would love to hear of your stories!!!

Sorry to deviate a little from the thread!! But as he is ex Swissport, then I suppose it's nice to know what they are doing now!! Despite defecting!!

I knew some of those managers who have gone although I didn't work directly for them. Not so much 'leaving in droves' seems that Swissport are actually having a cull of the poor ones in most cases at last. One of my mates at STN says that the new guy is apparently very good and is sorting out the dead wood.
