May 23, 2009

The bad news from the transport industry – of capacity reductions, short-term working, volume declines and more – shows no sign of easing up. Swissport, too, is preparing for a difficult business year, and is currently providing itself with maximum flexibility to respond to various possible scenarios.
The new cargo handling agreements include the following highlights: Cargolux will entrust all its ground handling at Atlanta Airport to Swissport; Swissport has become responsible for all the cargo affairs of Air Astana (of Kazakhstan) at Amsterdam Airport; Swissport Tel Aviv has been looking after Aerosvit’s cargo business since March (Aerosvit is represented by general sales agent Unitag, which is also responsible for a further 17 airlines, including recent new customers Belavia, Tandam Aero, Transaero and Onur Air); Swissport Budapest has won two new customers, namely Hainan Airlines (for cargo generally) and Lufthansa (for trucking); and United Airlines has entrusted Swissport with the handling of its daily service to Geneva.
