Aviator Wins Four-Year Lufthansa Group Ground Handling Contract in Gothenburg

Under the agreement, Aviator will provide full ground handling services, including deicing and anti-icing operations.

Aviator Airport Alliance has signed a four-year agreement with Lufthansa Group to provide full ground handling services for five of the group’s airlines at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (GOT).

The contract, which runs from Dec. 1, 2026, through Nov. 30, 2030, covers approximately 70 aircraft turnarounds per week for Lufthansa Airlines, Lufthansa City Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines.

Under the agreement, Aviator will provide full ground handling services, including deicing and anti-icing operations. The contract begins at the start of the Nordic winter season, when winter weather can create additional operational demands for ground handling teams.

“Being entrusted with the Lufthansa Group’s operations at Gothenburg is a strong endorsement of our teams and the standards we uphold across the Nordics,” said Casper Olhoff Dons, chief commercial officer at Aviator. “Full handling at this scale demands precision and consistency, and we are ready to deliver it from day one.”

Lufthansa Group said the agreement builds on its existing relationship with Aviator at Gothenburg.

“Gothenburg is an important station for Lufthansa Group within our Northern European network,” said Demet Temur, vice president commercial airport agreements for Lufthansa Group. “Customer-oriented and reliable ground handling is fundamental to the experience we offer our passengers.”

Aviator provides ground handling services for a range of international carriers in Sweden. The company is part of Avia Solutions Group.
