Aviapartner secures contract with South African Airways
Aviapartner Handling has added an important customer to its customer portfolio in Munich, South African Airways, for the provision of Ramp Handling Services for their new Munich-Johannesburg route, which commenced operations on 4 July 2007.

South African Airways initially operates 3 flights per week with Airbus A340-300 aircraft, increasing to a daily operation as from the Winter 2007-8 schedule period.

Aviapartner Handling Munich will provide the full range of ramp handling services to South African Airways: loading and unloading of aircraft, ground power, cleaning, water and sanitary services, freight and baggage transfer, crew transfer, headset, pushback and towing, aircraft de-icing, and operations (flight documentation, communication, weight and balance, crew briefing, and flight supervision).

Aviapartner is confident that this major step forward will open the way for negotiations towards other wide-body carriers. Vicky Karantzavelou - Wednesday, August 22, 2007
