Flight Support ceases to exist as a trading entity in December (12th from what I hear) and will now trade as Menzies, meaning that Menzies picks up Flybe at MAN.

I believe they've been retained by Servisair.

I was under the impression that MAN was one of the best performing stations for TOM, I guess money talks...

Seems strange to lose TOM at MAN but retain other stations ! - part of a 'SMART'er' plan by Servisair at MAN perhaps.

Are you sure its Smart who got the contract at GLA?

I was under the impression they couldnt handle anybody but Easyjet due to some contractual clause for the time being.

Contract confusing much..

Menzies didnt get the GLA contract then kazzie? Servisair didnt get it which would only leave Smart!

Wonder how that will work.

They dont have enough dispatchers or ramp staff as it is and none of the servisair dispatchers or ramp guys will be eligible for tupe. In fact it will only be check in staff who are id imagine.

I have no idea.. I am off at the moment so I am only going by what I have heard on here. But I was under the same impression as you that Smart was only allowed EZY? Just thinking if they have found a loop hole via handling solutions..

As far as I believe.

Thats two substantial contracts lost at GLA in the last 12 months with nothing to replace either of them.

Doesnt bode well.

Its a shame.. In the world of handling agents, its the money that talks. To the expense of the hard working staff on the front line..

I suppose thats the case for almost every industry out there these days. Not just aviation. Just have to make the most of what we have and enjoy it. In any case. I still love my job. And will crack on with it.

Good luck to everyone for 2013 x

GLA wise.. Is it Smart that have TOM? or Menzies? I am getting conflicting information.

TOM have been with Servisair for over 50 years (dating back to Britannia days) at MAN.

BA, TCX and TOM all gone for 2012, wonder what the future holds?
