With recent contract wins in Osaka (KIX) and Fukuoka (FUK), Swissport now supports Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading low-cost airline, in an exclusive partnership at all Japanese stations. Swissport has been providing airport ground services and air cargo handling for Cebu Pacific in Japan since 2014.
With the addition of Osaka (KIX) and Fukuoka (FUK), Swissport will be supporting Cebu Pacific at all Japanese stations. Swissport also operates at Nagoya (NGO) and Tokyo’s Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND) airports.
In Japan, Swissport’s relationship with Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading low-cost airline, goes back to 30 March 2014, with services at Narita and Nagoya launching on the same day. Swissport recently renewed all existing agreements and, following a successful competitive tender, was awarded Osaka and Fukuoka for both ground handling and cargo. Excluding Nagoya, where Swissport does not have a cargo operation, Swissport is Cebu Pacific’s sole provider in Japan, handling 35 flights per week across four airports.
