I appreciate that its that time of year again when contracts are due for renewal and rumours are rife, however, there is a very strong rumour circulating in the BHX bazaars that Swissport will be loosing a major contract in the new year, has anyone else heard this yet ??

Legalize, spoke to the man a few times and met him once, so no I don't know him really well. Info didn't come from Swissport but from a couple of other sources who I have no reason to doubt. But, as with all these things, it will only be certain when the change over happens, which is February according to the source who gave a date

By you mentioning February has let the cat out the bag. For about the 30th time on PPrune the Monarch leaving SPT rumour has resurfaced. All Because a complete 'nobody' who works for Circusair reckons he was told by a monarch captain that they would be leaving SPT for teh Circus in February. As this forum has pointed out many times before, why the hell would comercial directors tell captains of there decisions..Just doesnt make sense.
Sounds like wishful thinking by Circusair staff who are desperate for work as they have gotten wind of what is forthcoming at the Circus!!

As far as I know there are probably 3-4 people at the whole of BHX who know about the shock Servisair announcement that wil be coming to theoir staff soon. If you are on about the same thing then you must have some very good contacts within servisair higher management..

Legalize, who mentioned anything about Captains or specific airlines??? As I said before I have no reason to doubt that the information from my sources was accurate at the time it was given, but until the deal is signed sealed and delivered anything can, and probably will, happen. One of the less savoury features of modern business is that you can spend a long time reaching agreement on a deal for the other side to walk away the day they are due to sign
number1delta please enlighten us about this shock announcement, by the way who are you pretending to be this time?

Number1delta , this "shock announcement" that is going to be made to Servisair staff at BHX, would it happen to be this:
You posted the above recently on this very thread 
Looks like TOM will be joining SPT very soon. My father is an ex-captain for TOM and still gets consulted on certain issues. According to him the deal with SPT is getting very close to being signed.

Thomson And Swissport Bhx
It does seem a bit strange that Thomson want to get rid of Servisair at BHX as it was only november this year that MAN and BHX came out with top awards for delivering service excellance.....with Thomson being more than pleased with their handling........if you can believe whats on the servisair web page that is.

Looks like Servisair have nothing to worry about, quite the reverse, maybe Swissport should start to worry
Servisair, the UK’s leading ground handling provider, is delighted to announce that it has exchanged contracts with Go-Ahead plc to acquire their Regional ground handling business at 11 airports in the UK.
The Agreement encompasses Aviance ground handling operations at Aberdeen, Belfast City, Belfast International, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester and Southampton Airports
