Now present in 19 Scandinavian airports, TCR is to become wholly responsible for the purchase and leaseback of all vehicles (motorised or otherwise) providing ground services to the airline on Copenhagen airport. Through this agreement, TCR is consolidated as the main supplier of all GSE for SAS throughout most Scandinavian airports, reaffirming its leadership position in Europe. This contract marks the culmination of the group's regional expansion plans, increasing the TCR activities in the region by more than 1,800 vehicles. As part of the deal, TCR will also build a brand new 4,000 square metre workshop at Copenhagen airport.
TCR's first major contract in Scandinavia started in 2011 at Oslo airport with the sale and rent-back of Menzies' entire GSE fleet, followed by the signing of contracts with Aviator in 2012 and with SAS in 2014. In February last, TCR launched its subsidiary TCR Sweden as part of a long-term agreement with SGH on three Swedish airports: Stockholm Arlanda, Göteborg Landvetter and Malmö.
