Swissport International and Virgin Atlantic Airways have signed a fiveyear agreement to intensify their global cargo collaboration. “This long-term global strategic relationship with regard to cargo handling will allow both parties to explore savings in overhead costs where Swissport could perform additional services with an overall target of improving financial conditions and quality standards,” said John Batten, executive vice president of global cargo at Swissport International.

Swissport handles online cargo for Virgin at Cape Town, Johannesburg,
Nairobi and Tokyo, as well as at 45 offline locations for imports in Europe and 24 offline export stations in France, Belgium, Poland and Scandinavia.
