Swissport has announced that Michel Jansen, executive vice president cargo services and head of the company’s global airfreight handling activities will be leaving the company with immediate effect to seek a new career challenge. The separation is by mutual agreement and in good harmony, the group said in a statement.
Until a permanent successor is appointed, responsibility for Swissport’s cargo handling operations will be shared by three in-house specialists on an interim basis. Juan Jose Andres Alvez, currently senior vice president passenger business, will assume overall responsibility for all European cargo handling and all HQ functions. Urs Sieber, currently EVP ground handling worldwide (except Americas), will take over the areas Africa and Asia, while Erich Bodenmann, currently executive vice president aviation specialty services, will be in overall charge of cargo handling for the area Americas.
