The company will provide passenger and baggage handling services for over 2.4m customers and ramp handling for over 8,000 easyJet flights a year.
The contract win sees the continuation of a nearly decade-long successful partnership between Swissport and easyJet at Liverpool, a partnership which covers 19 airports in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Spain, Morocco and Israel.
Alberto Santamarta, Head of Ground Ops UK and Europe at easyJet said: “We are very pleased to be continuing our long and successful partnership with Swissport. As the largest airline in Liverpool airport it’s important that we can count on a high-level of consistent service from our partners. We’ve seen this and more from Swissport, and we look forward to another five years of excellent service.”
Luzius Wirth, CEO for UK and Ireland at Swissport said: “The renewal of our partnership with easyJet in Liverpool is testimony to the hard work and dedication shown every day by our team.
“We now look forward to developing our business with exciting new innovations and product enhancements that will further optimise our performance for both easyJet and its customers.”
In the first half of 2018, Swissport increased the number of passengers handled on behalf of its airline clients to 132m, up 10% on 2017 figures.
