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?
