Airport ground operations
Life on the ramp
Working on the ramp means being at the heart of the airport, on the move, hands-on, and ensuring aircraft depart safely, on time.
"Aviation operations is demanding work - early mornings, physical labour, and fast-paced environments. It's not for everyone, and that's okay. But for those who embrace the challenge, Swissport offers real career growth. Many of our leaders started on the ramp."
Cedric von Holsen - Operation Steering Leader - Switzerland
Life in our warehouses
Air cargo services
In cargo, precision is key. Our colleagues make sure freight, from medical supplies to e-commerce orders, moves securely and efficiently across the globe.
“I’ve always found cargo fascinating—it's a dynamic and essential part of the industry that often operates behind the scenes. I’m inspired to modernize and digitize cargo operations.”
Priscila Marques - Global Operations Manager - Cargo - Zurich
