The agreement, which runs until 2030, means Swissport will provide passenger services, ramp handling, baggage management, aircraft cleaning, cargo handling and lounge hospitality services for more than 40 flights a day.
Swissport will service flights operated by Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines.
Karen Cox, CEO of Swissport UK and Ireland, said: “We are very proud to extend our strong partnership with Lufthansa Group to their largest overseas airport. Operational excellence is key for our partners, and I am pleased we have been afforded the opportunity to demonstrate this to the four airlines.”
In anticipation of the new contract, Swissport has invested heavily in GSE, and more than 80% of the new equipment will be electric.
The new equipment will be equipped with enhanced damage protection safety systems.
Across the UK and Ireland, Swissport provides Lufthansa Group airlines with services at Birmingham, London Gatwick, Newcastle, Cork and Dublin airports.
