As planned and previously communicated, Eric Born wishes to step down as Group President & CEO of Swissport International AG. He will retire from the company at the end of December, after successfully leading and developing Swissport for more than five years.
Swissport wins business from major airlines
In recent days, Swissport has also registered important successes at the commercial level. A new seven-year contract with the Lufthansa Group comprises passenger services and airport ramp handling in Zurich, Geneva and Basel, Switzerland. The agreement covers all hub handling for Swiss International Air Lines at Zurich Airport, and further services for Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines and Edelweiss Air in Geneva and Basel. With Swiss International Air Lines providing the majority of services at Zurich Airport and a significant part of all services in Geneva, this long-term agreement is a strong signal for Switzerland’s aviation, too.
Moreover, Swissport has also recently been appointed by Qantas as its preferred partner for ground services at Australia’s busiest airports in Sydney and Melbourne, and at Canberra Airport, which serves the nation’s capital.
