Can anyone confirm who handles Swiss LX at Heathrow?

I believe its Menzies

GA

Flight Support ceases to exist as a trading entity in December (12th from what I hear) and will now trade as Menzies, meaning that Menzies picks up Flybe at MAN.

Servisair wins virgin (domestic) contract
 

"Virgin Atlantic has awarded Servisair contracts at 3 new regional bases, forming the airline's new domestic network. Servisair will provide full handling at ABZ, EDI and MAN, including check-in, ramp, and de-icing services."

"Servisair provide full handling to Virgin Atlantic at Glasgow and also internationally, where Servisair's American and Canadian divisions also provide handling services at BOS, LAX, MCO and YVR."

Thomson to leave Servisair for Swissport at MAN.

Any idea whats happened with TOM at other stations?

I believe they've been retained by Servisair.

I was under the impression that MAN was one of the best performing stations for TOM, I guess money talks... :rolleyes:

Servisair looses TOM airways contract at MAN and GLA
 

Servisair have retained the contract for ground handling services at the following stations:

Aberdeen
East Midlands
Belfast
Edinburgh
Birmingham
Humberside
Bournemouth
Jersey
Bristol
Leeds Bradford
Cardiff
Liverpool
Doncaster
Luton
Durham
Tees Valley
Southampton

And lost at the following stations:
Manchester
Glasgow

Apparently GLA will be run under Smart handling by Servisair!

Seems strange to lose TOM at MAN but retain other stations ! - part of a 'SMART'er' plan by Servisair at MAN perhaps.

Are you sure its Smart who got the contract at GLA?

I was under the impression they couldnt handle anybody but Easyjet due to some contractual clause for the time being.

I was thinking the same... Although it might be under handling solutions?

Contract confusing much..

List of Who handle who in europe
 

Hello, every one
Do you know any site where I can have the all information who handles who in Europe?
Thanks
Merry Christmas

Menzies didnt get the GLA contract then kazzie? Servisair didnt get it which would only leave Smart!

Wonder how that will work.

They dont have enough dispatchers or ramp staff as it is and none of the servisair dispatchers or ramp guys will be eligible for tupe. In fact it will only be check in staff who are id imagine.

I have no idea.. I am off at the moment so I am only going by what I have heard on here. But I was under the same impression as you that Smart was only allowed EZY? Just thinking if they have found a loop hole via handling solutions..

Who handles who 2012
 

Menzies have it

Good luck to all at Servisair MAN/GLA.

Time to jump off the sinking ship :ok:

Haven't Servisair had Thomson and Britannia since, well always at Glasgow?

As far as I believe.

Thats two substantial contracts lost at GLA in the last 12 months with nothing to replace either of them.

Doesnt bode well.

Its a shame.. In the world of handling agents, its the money that talks. To the expense of the hard working staff on the front line..

I suppose thats the case for almost every industry out there these days. Not just aviation. Just have to make the most of what we have and enjoy it. In any case. I still love my job. And will crack on with it.

Good luck to everyone for 2013 x

GLA wise.. Is it Smart that have TOM? or Menzies? I am getting conflicting information.

TOM have been with Servisair for over 50 years (dating back to Britannia days) at MAN.

BA, TCX and TOM all gone for 2012, wonder what the future holds?

Virgin Domestic..

What airlines are left?

Servisair still have TCX at GLA.

Unfortunately theres no VS Domestic service at GLA for the time being as that would have covered the shortfall from losing TOM.

Lufthansa id imagine will go to Menzies.

Things will probably be alright at GLA until the end of october. Who knows what will happen then, although it is a long time away.

Kazzie it was Menzies who got it at GLA.

Thanks BB, Found out this morning when I got in...

LH, Well I would imagine menzies as well considering we handle diversions for LH, BUT it us being operated under Euro Wings.. So could be a contract up for tender.

Again, Good luck to everyone come next October.. Hopefully something will come along and save everyone at Servisair.

And I know Virgin Domestic are not coming to GLA (Unfortunately) I meant MAN in reply to 750XL :)

Swissport LHR handles Virgin Atlantic ?
 

Dear All,

There has been jobs advertised from swissport UK @ LHR for:

- Customer Service Agent
- Flight Dispatcher
- Operational Shift Manager & Supervisor.

All the advertised positions say " ... Opportunities based at London Heathrow Airport managing passengers for a highly prestigious airline-Virgin Atlantic, which has just established new routes through London ... "

Will Virgin-Atlantic switch from self handle to handling agent ??

Anyone knows anything?

here is the ads:
Jobs

VS LHR
 

These positions are for the new T1 work.

so basically they're going to take the contract for Virgin Atlantic (DOMESTIC)

:ok:

Jet2 are now going to self handling at MAN on pax services / dispatch, not sure if ramp is staying menzies though?

Jet2 have been doing their own pax services for some time now. They've recently started to employ their own 'Dispatchers' who are present on every turn, however, they are not yet approved for AAA, therefore, Menzies are still providing Dispatchers and Loadcontrol/Ops as required. The Ramp contract has been extended with Menzies to December I believe.

Whats going on??
 

Servisair management have cancelled all meetings with union reps. for the "foreseable future" at MAN. Also Mr Abderaman El-Aoufir (CEO) is coming to the UK & arranged a meeting with certain reps very soon. Rumour is Servisair or part of it have been bought by DNATA...... FINGERS CROSSED!:D

If the rumours are true, what effect would this have on us mules? :*

New year... new thread ALREADY? :sad:

DNATA
 

Any more news on the Servisair / DNATA situtaion ?

Would be a very intresting move if it was to happen

Servisair Cargo have the Emirates Cargo contract. Rumour has it that it is up for renewal soon. Dnata have purchased all of the ex Menzies Cargo stations around the UK. But Dnata have the Etihad Cargo contract which again is up for contract renewal time. Can Etihad and Emirates share the same Dnata Cargo shed? All very interesting goings on. Any updates?
