Swissport wins easyJet business at Zurich Airport as of 1 September 2019. The five-year contract complements Swissport’s existing business with the airline in Geneva and at Basel‘s EuroAirport. Swissport will service some 120 daily easyJet flights at the three Swiss airports combined. On a global level easyJet relies on Swissport’s ground services at 19 airports.
In addition to their long-standing and successful cooperation at the Geneva and Basel airports, Swissport and easyJet will also work together in Zurich. The contract, which comes into effect on 1 September 2019, has a five year term. It initially covers passenger services (like check-in, gate and ticketing) and ramp handling (like aircraft movement/push-back and cleaning).
„We are extremely pleased to win back easyJet in Zurich after a three year pause“, says Willy Ruf, Swissport’s Senior Vice President for Central Europe. „Swissport and easyJet look back on a longstanding and successful partnership and a deeply integrated cooperation at airports across Europe. Both partners can benefit from the joint know-how and experience built over many years.“
Swissport services some 70 easyJet flights daily in Geneva and over 40 daily flights at Basel’s EuroAirport. In Zurich the carrier operates 10 daily flights. The Zurich contract follows recent new business awarded to Swissport in Liverpool and in Belfast. Swissport provides ground services to easyJet at 19 airports in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Spain, Morocco and Israel.
