Well, if that's true, then Easyjet get what they pay for. I would suspect that Servisair would only take on the contract at significantly more favourable terms than what Menzies are prepared to do it for. I think the days of handling agents cutting each others throat in a race to the bottom are coming to an end - I hope !

Handling contracts are all about three things

1) Price
2) Service quality
3) Relationships

As to the easyjet contract

1) I think the days of Servisair buying business are in the past
2) Menzies seem not to be delivering at Gatwick .... but then again neither are Easyjet !
3) Easyjet are in the process of recruiting a new head of ground services so the relationships might change

I don’t see Easyjet making any big changes until the new Head of Ground Services is on board.
