Swissport takeover
The69er, hi there, you mentioned T/Ls previously, do Swissport use them as part of the groundcrew? Not fully sure how the potential new employers work their system

Servisair / Swissport
DMS employees ARE part of the deal according to the press release sent out 2 days ago.
The69er
Servisair and swissport exist at STN but in different roles ie swissport GH and Servisair cargo

its the Servisair Group and everything they own. SO if they own Derichebourg in the UK then it will be included, I would suggest that if anyone wants to know they should do a companies house search on Servisair in the UK and see what it subsidiaries are

The announcement we received here up north said like this:
Very, very interesting to see how this works especially at places like HEL where these two companies compete against each other very hard to win contracts...
I'm also concerned about Servisair-guys losing their current positions - many loadmasters and gse-guys will propably face the situation whether to become just an ordinary baggage-rampie or to leave.

While this transaction is completed, Servisair and Swissport will continue to operate as separate companies, with both continuing to conduct business as usual

As far as I know the cleaners at MAN/GLA/EDI (and any other station DMS clean aircraft?) are being swallowed up by Swissport too, as Derichebourg are selling the entire 'aviation' operation to concentrate on their recycling business.

Does anyone know legally where we stand with this buyout?

I do wonder how this will affect things here at EMA? Already the managers are trying to be unusually friendly!
Do Swissport bring their own team in or do they leave the management structure intact as we seem to be over-subscribed in this department

HeavyChox - There are already tons of rumour floating round the ramp. Mainly around comparisons between roles that Servisair have that Swissport don't. If, as your name suggests, you work the Cargo contracts then none of the rumours i've heard so far regarding roles affect the cargo side - just the pay side of the rumours.
I shall be down on the east ramp a few times tonight (hopefully 6 times if everything of yours operates and doesnt cancel)

Burnie5204- I used to work Cargo but now on Central Ramp groundcrew, just slightly concerned re future employment lol!
As you are aware, rumours and speculation abound in these matters and the outcome could go either way.

Looking into a glass ball I see Swissport Auditors floating around Servisair Departmentss with lots of note taking....
After 2 yrs TUPE the vastly overpaid and underworked Servisair staff might be in for a wee shock.....

Servisair / Swissport
Why are there always people on here that take great delight in the fact people may be out of a job. I thought this was a rumour site, not a gloating forum !!!! The issues are with the companies involved, not the people that work for them. It's going to affect the livelihood of people on BOTH side !!
