Swissport extends load control provision for SWISS

Swissport has been awarded a five year contract to perform load control services for all continental flights of Swiss International Air Lines.

Swissport’s Centralised Load Control unit will provide SWISS with some 21,000 load sheets yearly across 47 airports.

Following a rigorous selection process with the participation of load control providers from around the world, Swissport has been awarded an expanded contract with a five year term (until the end of 2024) and has already started to provide load control services for all continental Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) flights. The yearly service volume is expected to increase from 12,000 load sheets today to some 21,000 in future. Swissport has been providing SWISS with load control services for a limited number of European destinations since 2013.

"We are delighted that a renowned airline such as SWISS entrusts us to carry out load control for their entire continental operations," commented Luzius Wirth, Executive Vice President Europe, Middle East & Africa. "Thanks to the recent opening of our second CLC centre in Nairobi and our growing team of highly qualified specialists, working from Zurich, Casablanca and Nairobi, we have excellent prospects for a further expansion of these services.”
