Mehmet Murat Nursel, Senior Vice President of Qatar Aviation Services wrote in his letter to the ASA board: “I believe ASA can be a catalyst for ground handling industry to influence decision makers on issues and challenges that are relevant to our sector. Furthermore, it would certainly be an ideal platform to discuss areas of improvements and band together to make our voice heard.
"QAS’s strong commitment in actively supporting ASA’s future initiatives is precious for the Association and for the Ground Handling Sector in general. We are honoured to welcome this award-winning and motivated new member to ASA," said Fabio Gamba, Managing Director ASA.
Richard Prince, CEO Aviapartner said: “With the significant industry challenges we face, we need a strong voice to help shape the industry, the discussion of regulation, the impact of ESG, working with IATA on the future of IGOM and ISAGO. It is time for a strong industry association to pave the way for future generations to come. At Aviapartner we understand that a collective industry body to represent us on these significant topics will have a wider impact and that is the reason we want to be part of ASA."
“The addition of this leading light in European ground handling to our members’ family is a great recognition of the reach and influence of ASA. We want to thank Aviapartner for their support and trust," added Gamba.
