Swissport has begun supplying ground handling services at New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Japan, marking the company’s first foray into northern Japan to support Easter Jet’s daily services between Busan and Sapporo.
To support the launch, Swissport has begun a recruitment and training programme to build a team at the airport.
Stephan Kaeser, Chief Operating Officer of Swissport Japan, said:We are proud to be working with Eastar Jet and look forward to supporting their operations.
This partnership marks an exciting milestone as we expand into northern Japan and meet the growing demand for reliable ground services at New Chitose Airport.
In order to accommodate the upcoming winter, Swissport has also begun investing in a dedicated fleet of ground service equipment, including de-icing units and snow operations vehicles.
The new partnership adds to Swissport’s current ground service contracts at Fukuoka, Nagoya, Okinawa, Osaka and Tokyo’s Narita and Haneda airports
