[dms1]

DMS cleaners

DMS cleaners have now been informed that they are also involved in the take over will the cleaners jobs be safe ?

[TOWTEAMBASE]

That will depend on swissports plans for them I guess

All seems a bit pointless considering the Swissport/Servisair merger

[750XL]

Swissport buying Servisair doesn't necessarily mean MAN will merge.

Penauille and Globeground anyone?

[Hangar6]

EI for EY

Not a rumour confirmed by all parties

[Airfrance7]

Swissport is a global brand. Servisair is not. It would make sense to put all stations under the Swissport brand.

[The96er]

Swissport buying Servisair doesn't necessarily mean MAN will merge.

I'm afraid it will.

[TOWTEAMBASE]

How can you say Servisair isn't a global brand ?

[STN Ramp Rat]

How can you say Servisair isn't a global brand ?

It was thesmallest of the big handlers and that made them vulnerable

[750XL]

Still a global brand, and one recognised for it's high level of service

[TOWTEAMBASE]

Exactly 750XL, there Aren't too many places in the world that Servisair aren't in, albeit smaller in the UK now, it's aircraft fuelling too in the states so a different set up all round.

[750XL]

Servisair have a lot of things that Swissport don't for example fuelling, as you mentioned, and also lounges

[boeingbus2002]

Swissport have fuelling at LHR.

[mathers_wales_uk]

Servisair have Executive Lounges at some airports and is a very lucrative part of the ground handling business.

[TOWTEAMBASE]

Also aircraft deicing which is very lucrative if you have a bad winter

[wayne1985]

Servisair also gain etihad at LHR from 1st November.

[aergid]

mmmm If I am not mistaken Swissport do Aircraft Fuelling in LHR & NCL in UK and as for De-Icing it is big business for Swissport (maybe not in UK but everywhere else that is a bit chilly).
Swissport is recognised as the biggest GHA globally and Servisair second but by a big distance, with Menzies not far behind them in third....

With a workforce of around 40,000 personnel, Swissport is active at 180 stations in 37 countries across five continents

Servisair employs around 15,000 staff and is active at 118 locations in 20 countries on four continents

As for quality yeah right..... I have been handled by Servisair and Ringsting (RIP) when Atlas Air brought their B747 freighters to MAN. Both had no clue and the equipment was older than me....

Just sit back and accept the fact you will all be wearing 'the ferrari pit stop kit' soon enough muhahahaha.....


Having fun in the sun
