Re Menzies/Easyjet - I've heard Easyjet are getting increasingly frustrated with the service given by Menzies at certain stations, although it could be argued that Easyjet are paying an unrealistically low price for handling. (You get what you pay for !!)
Pax wise.
Menzies
easyJet (until March)
Continental
Servisair (Swissport from Jan 2014)
Everything else.
Not worked on the ground for a few years so can't be sure on the cargo front. Handlers are Belfast Handling & Servisair.

Got confirmation form a friend that works at BFS and with Menzies that Swissport won the Easyjet contract as they tendered a very low bid to win the contract.
Now what happened to Swissport back in i think 2004 when they went bust in LHR in T1 and over night they close up shop and left. There making a come back in the uk putting in low bids to win airline contracts.. Could it happened again??????
It can't work as you still need the same bodies to do the work so they must be offering a very bad wage.
Does anybody know what there going rate of pay is?
Be aware of the Swissport pricing machine.......

Menzies???
Why does everyone think swissport or servisair for that matter, think they will go bust because they under cut menzies? Both companies would not put in a bid, unless it made money! Anyway menzies have undercut everyone for years, menzies have lost easyjet because they cannot provide the service simple! Just because servisair/swissport have won big easy contracts at big bases, everyone jumps the gun & has to discredit them. Menzies time has come to end, about time! I know people who said servisair would not last 6 months, when they lost easy at BRS 5 years ago & other stations. Servisair may be more money, but you pay for what you get! TUPE will keep you all in work!!!!

Menzies GLA was one of the top performing stations for EZY And they still lost the contract last year after being undercut by Servisair Smart. Handling agents are undercutting each other so much for business that they will take a loss just to gain contacts..
It's becoming a silly game really, The only people who are suffering are those on the front line...

Anymore news on the rumour of Menzies getting TCX at most Uk airports? The way things are going Menzies needs more customer airlines in the UK as the new Swissport is so big throughout the UK...

Given that the summer is fast approaching, it would seem unlikely that the contract will move until the Swissport contract runs out which I believe is in 2015. Correct me if I'm wrong.
