GROUNNDER Swissport and major airline group IAG have signed a three-year contract covering airport ground services for the airlines of IAG at the new Berlin Brandenburg International Airport in the German capital, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
Since the opening of the new Berlin airport, Swissport has been growing its customer base to 17 airlines, providing them with a full range of ground services.
A British Airways flight to London Heathrow was the first flight under the new agreement with the British-Spanish airline group at the new Berlin Brandenburg International Airport. The three-year contract covers airport ground services for flights of British Airways, Iberia and Vueling, including passenger services at check-in and gates, ramp handling, baggage loading and pushback services, as well as aircraft cleaning.
The cooperation starts with three flights every weekend in March and will be extended to two daily flights from April 1.
'We are honoured by the trust placed in us by IAG and their airlines at our new base in Berlin,' said Swissport Berlin managing director Carsten Zuberbier.
Since moving operations from the former Tegel Airport to the new BER Airport at the end of October 2020, Swissport has been steadily adding international airline customers in Berlin with a workforce of 200.
Swissport also operates an air cargo warehouse at Berlin Brandenburg. In 2020, Swissport served roughly one million passengers and handled some 7.400 tons of air cargo in Berlin.
