Servisair Cardiff to Close

[7mthomas]

I know if we get the Servisair contract, the guys at Servisair will come over to us as theyre jobs are protected whatever handling agents take them.

We just recently had Thomson contract so I dont think any handling agents will come to Cardiff just for Thomas Cook, and a once a week charter.

From what i hear no pen has been put to paper on the Thomson contract yet.
Servisair handle more than just TCX and Tom during the summer months. So someone may still come in.

As of late last week, it had been released that Thomson were "going" to sign with Aviance, but as stated above, had not put pen to paper.

Servisair generally were handlers for most charter airlines in the past, but this summer is a bit dire, leaving Highland, Air Malta and Onur Air as regulars, and Monarch, Air Southwest and BlueLine on a few Ad-hocs.
Saga airlines were signed with Servisair for May, but due to the changes and it being a new contract decided to go straight to aviance as of May 1st.
It leaves the airlines in a tough position if they cant agree contracts with Aviance, but cant get a new handler in who can make it work.
