Resurgent IAG Ready To Dump Swissport
IAG CEO Willie Walsh acknowledged that “severe weather disruption” had contributed to the chaos, but made it clear that Swissport needed to up its game.
British Airways owner IAG has heaped further pressure on embattled baggage handling firm Swissport as the airline holding company posted its best second quarter since 2007 with a 55 percent surge in profits driven by a recovery at its Spanish airline Iberia. IAG chief executive Willie Walsh said axing Swissport “is an option available to us”. He added: “ If they do not improve performance they are going to lose business.”
