Mixed fortunes for Servisair

Article Abstract:

Servisair is inclined to gain from EU legislation that seek to eliminate monopoly status by January 1999, for handling agents at airports that move at least three million passengers yearly. Servisair, a substantial player in the European independent ground support arena, handled 37.9 million passengers and 291,000 turnrounds in 1997, up 11% and 6% respectively from year-ago. Its cargo business increased by 11% to 358,000 tons in the same year, primarily through a joint venture with Air France, called HCH. The proposed EU regulations encompass some 50 airports, and even though there is a transitory period for the regulations until 2003, many airports are now making some adjustments this early.
