The contract includes serving passengers at check-in and gates, handling aircraft on the ramp, managing lost and found, and loading and unloading cargo.
With this five-year contract, Swissport is adding 35,000 annual flights in Chile, representing 190% growth from around 19,000 flights currently.

“With our dedicated teams across Chile, we will provide Sky Airline with the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and reliability. We look forward to expanding our operations in this dynamic market.”
