AeroGround wins handling licence in Berlin

Handling Talk
AeroGround Flughafen München, Munich airport's ground handling subsidiary, has been awarded one of three licences to provide ground handling services at Berlin-Schönefeld airport.

As of July this year, AeroGround will operate a second handling station in Berlin alongside its existing one at Munich airport, providing ground handling services in such areas as baggage handling and transport, mail and cargo transport, marshalling, loading and unloading of aircraft and transport of passengers and crew.

Berlin-Schönefeld and Berlin-Tegel operations are merged with the opening of the Berlin-Brandenburg airport and the licence, valid until 2022, will be transferred to the new facility.

"This opens up outstanding growth opportunities for our company," said Thomas Weyer, Munich Airport's CFO and Head of Infrastructure.

"First, our selection for the licence is doubtless a reflection of the outstanding quality of the application documents we submitted in June 2014 and the successful presentation of our bid. And second, Aeroground's reputation for high quality handling services extends far beyond Bavaria."

Equally pleased with the outcome was Siegfried Pasler, the Managing Director of AeroGround, who said: "Airline customers in particular have been very supportive and indicated their satisfaction with our performance."
