Birmingham Handling
 

Turkmenistan are the latest contract to leave swissport feels like we are losing contracts faster than the titanic was taking in water who will be next?.

Turkmenistan did not leave Swissport, Swissport got rid of Turkmenistan as it didn't fit in with the "businness model", if anybody know what this is please let us know as it got me beat........

turkmenistan
 

Who is turkmenistan going to now? Also heard a rumour that PK might be going to Servisair, apparently the rumour is that Servisair have already won the contract for baggage handling and ramp and are now just waiting to hear on the passenger services side.

Also anybody know the reason for the heavy EK landing last night?

Ive had it on good ground too that PIA might be leaving Swissport

Back to Good Old Servisair
 

Are PIA really going back to good old servisair?

If pia do go back to servisair I think it will be a bad thing for them. You actually get to a stage where you have taken on to much work and end up losing it just as quick.

Where are they going????
 

So where are Turk going?? Servisair are at breaking point surely with all the expansion from FR and the FCA contract. Aviance could use them as a replacement for Uzbek but the Turk who knows.......

Dont know about the servisair PIA thing there was one point when they were meant to have been sniffing around aviance. As were air india apparently.

Would the Uzbek fit in with Aviance at the moment with the MYT thing aswell? Im going to take a guess the amount of flights between turk and uzbek were relativley similar?

Bring back Aviation Support - all is forgiven! he he he he!

Is Aj still alive by the way? :}

Never saw this guy... mildly famous it seems though :}

What was the straw that actually broke AS's company "back" in the end. Only thing i was ever told is that he turned up on the apron one day was was told "no you dont son..." and wasnt able to 'operate' any more?

Air India
 

Im not too sure there was much truth in the air india going to aviance rumour at the time. As far as i am aware it was the air india manager instigating those rumours, because he apparently worked for aviance on the uzbek contract before moving to air india and loved the place a bit too much. I know the contract is up for renewal, so who knows what is going to happen now!!

Ah him! Well i think ill assume thats not going to happen then ... i think aviance handle AirIndia in various other stations mostly in London. Maybe thats why. Cant remember that guys name but ive heard about him and uzbek

Mr G we will call him, worked for Uzbek and now is Assistant SM at AI. Nice guy, gets on well with all at BHX, and think he asked Aviance for a price as they worked hard for Uzbek and did a good job.

Ive heard allllll about Uzbek pax with their ironing boards and various other household goods. Apparently the ramp used to look like a sea of orange heavy tags when the Aviance loaders brought all of it out of rollerbay. One c/i girl i heard was offered what seemed to be half the contents of a kitchen when she told an uzbek pap the price of the excess :D



Penaulle (spelling sorry lol) do A/C cleaning as far as im aware they do all of it. Dunno about the de-iceing im afraid.

As this AJ guy fom avaition support goes, you have to give it to him. They guy is a LEGEND!!! I mean look at what he at what he accomplished. He blagged everyone on the airport and actually got a license to operate. He was dodgy but what a character!!

Airline Services do most/all of the de-icing at BHX.

Does anyone know what (if anything at all) is going on with Swiss Air? I heard a rumour not so long ago they were going to move with lufthansa as part of the star alliance to the same agent. At BHX thats Aviance. Any truth to this at all :confused:

Swiss are staying with Swissport, until Swissport decide it doesn't fit in with the 'business model':ugh::ugh:

Deicing is done by Servisair, Aviance and Airline Services with the latter doing the majority.

Can someone share the 'business model' joke please
