Evening, is it possible anyone at LHR able to provide an up to date list, please?

Rumour has it Monarch have jumped ship at MAN, any idea who they've gone to?

An employee I know at MAN said they think they are going Menzies. As they seem to handle them in most other locations. Also the other two handling agents at MAN are struggling already.

All handling agents at MAN are struggling, along with the Fueling companies and the cleaning companies and airport Security and.... well, you get the idea ! :rolleyes:

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.

Airline Services are rumoured to get TOM over the winter.

Hardly a surprise giving SWP's performance (or lack of it) :E?

How is Aviator doing? Are they keeping hold of TCX in BHX or losing them to Menzies as I thought I read on here previously... Also wonder whom Monarch will go with at LGW...

Monarch will be going to aviator if swissport can't improve their turnarounds.

GMB - Dispute Looms At London City Airport

I assume TUPE was followed in the end?

Has any one got any updates on MAN yet?
Such as the Cathay, Monarch and the new Vueling?

Hi everyone!
Would also like to know if someone was to have an updated list for LHR and LGW
Thanks in advance

The Aviator web site states they have the Thomas Cook contract at LGW from Sept 1st...

MAN
 

Rumour has it Dnata starting full gh services at MAN with Emirates from October and Cathay?

Can anyone confirm??

Ty

Emirates contract I've seen confirmed, not sure about Cathay but I can see them going there.

They've been poaching staff from the other failing GHA's at MAN for the past few weeks

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...

Same situation at MAN. Would appear they gave Swissport notice before finding an alternative supplier. Rumor has it at MAN is that they approached Menzies expecting them to do if for peanunts, only to be told:- "Sorry, those days are over". They then returned to Swissport to find the door well and truly closed !! - Looks like they've not played their cards right this time.
- Watch this space !

I have a feeling Swissport MAN will be going very much like Servisair MAN did, minimal to no charter carriers.

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.
