The acquisition of ViaEurope will create a single point of contact for shippers, cargo airlines and freight forwarders while providing services across each step of the product journey from aircraft handling, warehousing, customs clearance, tracking and preparation for delivery.
ViaEurope offers its services at Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Frankfurt and Liege airports.
Warwick Brady, President and CEO of Swissport International, said: “ViaEurope has an industry-leading offering that provides global e-commerce players improved lead times and visibility. ViaEurope’s focus on efficiency and operational excellence aligns perfectly with Swissport’s ambition and DNA. It also provides us with a leading solution in the rapidly growing e-commerce logistics space.”
Bram-Jan Streefland, CEO of ViaEurope, added: “Partnering with Swissport and its extensive network will allow us to offer our services more broadly. The combination of our expertise will offer customers an excellent level of service quality by minimising lead-times and providing greater information transparency from aircraft touch down to delivery.”
