Swissport and easyJet have signed a new five-year contract covering airport ground services for 30 daily flights at easyJet’s hub at Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BER). In addition, the British carrier renewed its contracts with Swissport in Basel and Geneva until 2025. In 2020, the two companies worked together at some 20 airports across Europe.
From October 1, 2021, Swissport will provide full ground handling services for easyJet passengers at check-in and gate, and will also be responsible for aircraft handling on the apron, including baggage loading and pushback services.
Since starting operations at the new BER Airport in late October 2020, Swissport Berlin has steadily added international airline customers. With around 200 employees, Swissport currently serves 17 airlines at Berlin Airport.
