Only info at BHX is from union, who state that it may take 6 to 9 months for the sale of the present swissport operation at Bhx to be completed, the present Servisair structure/management should remain in place, talks re contracts and t & c's are ongoing.

as expected there are a few rumours bouncing around :

1. Dnata are buying the present Swissport op at bhx

2. Asig as above

3.Dnata are not interested in swissport and want to buy the servisair op at bhx

No information as yet from the management of swissport/servisair, it looks like an interesting and possibly challenging year ahead at BHX

What about us?

In all this talk about the take over, there has not been even one comment about the MT departments.
Apparently Swissport don't operate an MT department, it's all sub out so what's going to happen to us? We have families and bills like everyone else on here.

No reason TUPE shouldn't apply to their third party provider. I believe this is what happened when Aviance TUPE'd to Menzies in LHR, the Aviance MT department TUPE'd to TCR. Thats my understanding, so fingers crossed for you.

There's been some subtle changes on the Swissport website.

Swissport MAN station manager is now the 'old' Servisair station manager

Swissport MAN ops phone numbers are now the 'old' Servisair ones

Are Swissport being merged into Servisair at MAN

Just a quick question... Does any one know what will happen to the smaller stations like LBA, BRS.. will they just get rebranded and continue operation or could they scrap them all together and let another agent move in?

Now we're all Swissport!

I would imagine that all stations big or small will be rebranded, as for BRS it will become a big station again as Easyjet return to servisair. Lets all wait & see when our new uniform arrive, all stations will be reviewed & those not making profit could be sold off. However its very early days yet, lets hope more news will follow in the coming days......
