Swissport has commenced services for Loganair and Vueling to provide airport ground services at Heathrow airport. The new contracts with the two carriers cover passenger services and ramp handling.
Loganair is the UK’s largest regional airline and the contract to deliver its Terminal 2 operations marks an expansion of the existing collaboration between Swissport and the airline. Vueling, one of Europe’s leading low-cost carriers, is a new entrant to Heathrow’s Terminal 4, where it will offer daily flights to Paris-Orly and Barcelona.
“We are delighted and proud that two brands at the heart of UK and European travel have put their trust in Swissport to safely and effectively deliver for them and for their passengers. At Swissport, we are passionate about becoming the service partner of choice at Heathrow airport and this is another important milestone on that journey,” said Karen Cox, CEO for Swissport UK and Ireland.
“We are excited to start a new chapter at Heathrow working with Swissport. They are a great bunch of people down there and we look forward to establishing a long-standing partnership of delivering for our customers,” said Loganair’s head of airports, Caroline Tunney.
In addition to airport ground services and aircraft cleaning, Swissport offers air cargo handling to more than 33 airline customers. Last year, the company served over 1.3 million passengers, and handled nearly 265,000 tons of air cargo at London’s busiest airport, with a workforce of some 740 dedicated aviation professionals.
