our story

16 August 2021 marked the 25th anniversary of Swissport. From its modest beginnings with operations in Switzerland, Swissport has developed into a global industry leader.

a bright future in the making

From its modest beginnings with operations at Switzerland's largest airports in Zurich, Geneva and Basel, Swissport has developed into a global leader. Today, some 850 air carriers place their trust in Swissport.

Under the name of "Swissair Ground Services International AG", Swissport was incorporated on 16 August 1996 before a notary public in Switzerland. The legal separation from its parent company Swissair laid the basis for a global growth and success story which continues to this day. From its modest beginnings with operations at the airports in Zurich, Geneva and Basel, Swissport has developed into a global leader. Today, some 850 air carriers place their trust in Swissport as an outsourcing partner.

And our ambitions remain high. We want to be the global brand airlines turn to when they look for a ground service partner. We combine best in class service and provide our customers with best value for money, market leading process flexibility and system compatibility. By delivering steady ground operations for airlines, Swissport contributes value to their service delivery and helps them bring a positive experience to their customers. We have an exciting journey ahead.
