Also the other two handling agents at MAN are struggling already.

Monarch Ground Handling Contract
The obvious choice would be Menzies after taking over Monarchs GH at LTN and BHX earlier this year, I don't think ASIG are well established enough yet which would only leave WFS as the only other candidate, although rumour has it that Airline Services are about to start full GH at MAN shortly. The SP contract will cease at midnight on the 7th November.

Rumour doing the rounds for a while at LGW that Monarch have no handling at all come end of October! Airline Services cannot accommodate them. Very interesting...

TCX at MAN also knocked on Menzies door expecting this that and the other for peanuts only for Menzies to turn around and say no, which I think it came as a bit of a shock to them as with MON. Its about time the agents finally told the airline that they will handle them on the handling agents terms and not the airlines.
On another note I hear Menzies at MAN are about to sign with Cathay, and lufty moving to ASIG. I aslo belive WFS are struggling with Jet2 big time.

Menzies seem to be thriving at swissports downfall. Especially if they bag any other airlines. Cathay will be a big success if they get it!
Cathay between menzies and dnata then?
Where will monarch go!

It looks as though instead of taking on loads of work which is too much, the agents have learnt a thing from swissport. I think MON either need to revise their T&C's with Menzies or hope a new agent will pick them up, but a new agent could also charge a shed load per turn.
