Swissport has won Air Malta’s ground handling business at London Heathrow’s prestigious Terminal 4. The contract with Air Malta marks a significant milestone in Swissport’s strategy to increase its presence at one of the world’s busiest airports.
The new contract between Swissport and Air Malta covers a comprehensive range of airport ground services including check-in, gate services as well as ramp and baggage handling. It becomes effective on September 1 with aircraft cleaning services being added from October. Swissport already provides carriers with a diverse range of services at Terminal 2 and supports a wide number of airlines across the airport with cleaning services.
Karen Cox, CEO for Swissport UK and Ireland says: “We are delighted that Air Malta has put its trust in us to deliver best-in-class ground services for their passengers. This agreement will lay the foundations for Swissport’s long-term presence at Terminal 4 as we continue to grow our footprint at the airport.”
“As the fourth busiest airport in the world, London Heathrow plays a pivotal role in global aviation as a hub for international travelers and cargo operations,” Cox adds. “We are excited to see what opportunities our return to Terminal 4 brings for our business and our dedicated teams on the ground.”
