"2018 was an excellent year for Swissport, both from a strategic perspective and from a results point of view,” commented Eric Born, Group President & CEO. “We actively realised organic revenue growth above the market and a favourable market environment gave us additional lift. With the strategic acquisition of the Australian ground services company Aerocare in March 2018, we added a growth platform in the Asia-Pacific region, creating the basis for our regional expansion.”
