Who Handles Who? 2008
 

Trying to make a list of what handling agents handle what airlines at the major UK airport e.g. BHX MAN LGW LHR STN.

BHX I believe is the following:
Aviance: Air Berlin, Air France, Austrian, BHAir, bmi, bmibaby, City Airline, Eastern Airways, Iberworld, KLM, KTHY, SAS, Thomas Cook
Servisair: Adria, Aer Arann, Aer Lingus, Air India, Air Slovakia, Brussels Airlines, Continental, Croatia, easyJet, Emirates, European Air Charter, Freebird, Futura, Jet2.com, Norwegian, Onur Air, Ryanair, SkyEurope, Thomsonfly, Viking Airlines, XL Airways
Swissport: Air Malta, Air Transat, Cyprus Airways, Eurocypria, First Choice Airways, flybe., FlyGlobespan, LTE, Monarch, MyTravel, PIA, Pegasus, SunExpress, Swiss, Turkmenistan
????: Centralwings, KoralBlue Airlines, Turkish Airlines

Anyone have any info on any other base?

Isnt there a handling forum that this would be more appropriate for.....:hmm:

The thread already exsists in the ops crewing and despatch forum. Sorry, don't know how to post the link.

Usually I can handle myself! :}

SAS currently handle airblue and libyan airlines

Menzies handle central wings

Servisair handle European

No idea about Estonian Air, not heard of them at MAN. I think SAS is withdrawing from MAN (handling agent) so not sure who/what will happen to the airlines above, they also handle KLM. Please correct anything if wrong.

Servisair handle Globespan, Freebird and Norwegian at LGW.

FirstChoice / Thomsonfly
 

Announced yesterday at Gatwick that from 16th April 2008 Servisair will no longer handle Thomsonfly . :mad:

If there are a few missing feel free to add.

W!zz started today with groundstar(swissport) at lgw

So Swissport BHX have now lost MYT and FCA! :ugh:

GLA: Aviance also handle Air Contractors (FedEx). GLA-STN-DUB & GLA-MAN-CDG (ATR72s).

BHX: Aviance have also handled the odd Air Mediterranee ad hoc (corporate) charter (A321) at T2. FedEx do self-handling (ATR72).

Cheers :cool:

BHX Swissport still handle MYT, well for another few weeks any. Air Contractors are handled by Servisair when working for Fedex and Swissport when not (very confusing).

BHX Swissport still handle MYT, well for another few weeks any.

That must be fun when MYT A320 operate the TCX MIR!!
So today are we Aviance or Swissport? :confused:

The MYT 320 doesn't operate to MIR at the moment for MYT or TCX, although it does seem to fly at bit more often than the FCA 757. And the split in work is pretty straight forward, MYT flight number handled by Swissport and TCX by Aviance no matter who's a/c it is.

Oh it's just that the TCX745K/L is sched to operate on an A320 from the 10th Feb and as TCX no longer have any A320's I take it it will be a MYT one.

Unconfirmed but...
 

(1st post here but have been reading the forums for weeks n weeks so ... hi all :)! )

I hear down probably not the strongest of grape vines that Aviance may also handle Swiss Air at some point as part of the star alliance since Lufthansa is also handled by them. Who knows... would be a slight boot in the chops for Swissport to lose the name sake airline though :}

Anyone got an address for swissport at bhx pls ??

2nd Floor
Terminal 1
Birmingham Airport
B26 3QJ

It's a long time since Swissport has been related to any airline, the collapse of Swissair following 9/11 to be precise. IF we lose Swiss then it will be a sad day, but certainly no worse than losing FCA, who were the airline that brought us in to BHX eight years ago.

I just hope that the commercial person is pulling their finger out and securing some new contracts for us, and not relying on worldwide deals from the parent company.

Well its only the rumor mill mate. Probably based on nothing more than the fact their part of SA n seemingly tend to follow each other round at various stations. Educated guess work as opposed to anything concrete. I was quite surprised about FCA i must say.

There are also things flying about (excuse the terrible pun) about PIA and AirIndia as well.

Last I was told was Air India had been asking round but where stopping where they are, PIA are always talking about moving. They certainly won't get better service if they move so probably just trying to reduce the price!!

Sounds about right i heard Air India were poking around Aviance , probably something to do with the london contracts with them. Doubt they will move though.

Anyone know who is getting Thomas Cook?

Thought I'd post ORD pax service.

United-
United
ANA

American-
American
Iberia

All other US carriers handle themselves only.

Swissport-
Air Jamaica, Taca, Swiss, Asiana, Aeromexico, Royal Jordanian, KLM, Austrian, Aer Lingus, Mexicana

Worldwide Flight Services-
Turkish, Air India, Korean Air, LOT, Japan Airlines.

SGS-
SAS, bmi.

Sunline Services-
Air France, Lufthansa.

MAN
 

Menzies handle WW on ramp

Swissport now handle VS as of Dec 10th 2007, also will take over AF and KLM from Aviance and SAS (announced today, start date unknown), due to them both choosing to go with one handler, DL may follow over (i hope so). Swissport only handle Emirates on the pax services side at the moment, but full handling will commence once Ringway decide what they are doing!

LH

MAN
 

Haven't been keeping up with the news from MAN recently... but its seems as though things aren't going too well for aviance with the loss of VS VG, GB airways (and AF soon) all fairly recently.

It seems strange as aviance seem to be doing well at most other stations...

Have they picked up any more contracts or have they had to downsize at MAN?

Southampton
 

I beleive Aviance is the only handling agent in Southampton and thus handle everything.
