SWISSPORT International has been awarded a contract to handle all of Air Berlin's flights at Zurich Airport, along with those of subisidiary airline NIKI, amounting to more than 8,000 flights per year to and from Zurich.
In a long-term contract, Swissport will begin ground-handling operations for Austrian airline NIKI from September 2012 and will handle Air Berlin flights from January 2013. Services for Air Berlin and NIKI will include check-in, loading and unloading of aircrafts.
"Air Berlin has established itself with a business model that combines high-quality products and services with reasonable prices, said Swissport International executive VP Philipp Joeinig.
"This combination places considerable demands on suppliers, but also reflects the values of Swissport, and the decision to choose Swissport to handle Air Berlin and NIKI flights in Zurich is a tribute to the quality and efficiency of Swissport Zurich and Swissport stations around the world," he added in a statement.
Swissport International Ltd provides ground services for around 108 million passengers and 3.2 million tonnes of cargo a year (the latter using 98 warehouses with a total floor area of over 350,000 square metres) on behalf of some 650 client-companies in the aviation sector.
