Swissport International, a leading supplier of ground handling services to the air transport sector, has been awarded a contract to provide services at 10 airports in South Africa. Effective from 1 September and valid for five years (with the option of a subsequent five-year renewal), the new contract adds to Swissport’s activity in the South African market where it has had ground handling contracts at four airports in the country.
Swissport South Africa also undertakes all ground handling operations for South African Airways since February. This new licence will enable Swissport to offer its services to other international and domestic airlines in addition to prime customer South African Airways.
