Etihad Cargo and Swissport ink deal
Etihad Cargo has certified international ground handling services company Swissport International Ltd as its first Preferred Handling Partner (PHP). Etihad Cargo is the fast-moving cargo division of Etihad Airways.
Only companies who meet the high service performance standards of Etihad Cargo and can assure consistency in quality across their regional operations can be certified a Preferred Handling Partner.
Etihad Cargo has specific performance benchmarks in the areas of safety, security management, regulatory compliance, training, information technology interfaces, business planning and risk management.
The two-year PHP certification with Swissport is focused initially on six Etihad Cargo stations; Athens, Geneva, Larnaca, Nairobi, Seoul and Toronto.
Etihad Cargo hopes to expand cargo operations with Swissport at other destinations over time, in addition to enhancing cargo handling at more than 100 off-line Swissport destinations which Etihad Cargo offers in conjunction with partners.
Kevin Knight, Chief Strategy and Planning Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “Swissport is world-renowned and has an enviable track record in providing high-quality and efficient ground services to cargo operators.
“Following an extensive audit of their corporate procedures and compliance with Etihad Cargo’s expectations, we believe this PHP certification not only makes sound business sense, but the synergies derived from the deal also raise the bar for other suppliers to join our Etihad Cargo PHP programme.”
John Batten, Executive Vice-President Cargo Services at Swissport International Ltd, said: “We are proud Etihad Cargo has chosen us as their first ever Preferred Handling Partner and we look forward to close cooperation as we provide the highest quality services and processes to further develop and expand our partnership into the future.”
