Zurich, 4 August 2010 - Swissport International, the world's leading provider of
ground services to the aviation sector, and Swiss International Air Lines
(SWISS) have extended their highly successful collaboration. The new contract
for 2010-2015 covers all ground handling at SWISS's three Swiss airports, with a
total annual volume of some 64 000 flights.
Swissport International and Swiss International Air Lines are delighted to have
concluded a new agreement covering the next five years. In taking this step, the
partners have further confirmed their long-term thrust and alignment in the
highly volatile air transport business. The new agreement will further enhance
and develop the already well-established partnership between Swissport and SWISS
at Zurich, Geneva and Basel airports.
The new contract includes:
* all passenger and baggage handling services
* all ramp services
* de-icing and
* various further airport services and customer processes.
In addition to SWISS, its biggest customer, Swissport serves 90 further
international airlines with its operations in Switzerland, for which it employs
some 4 000 personnel.

says Per H. Utnegaard, President & CEO of the Swissport International Group. "We
are extremely pleased that our partner and our biggest customer has reaffirmed
its trust and faith in us," he continues. "SWISS has always attached immense
importance to reliability and quality. Additionally, this long-term partnership
will not only underpin the consistency of the services we provide; it will also
