Why would that be on the news...
Heard it from my ex-colleagues at Swissport they have been briefed by management. 150 jobs at stake.
As an alternative jetairfly does not really have a choice... AP it is

You can't blame them! Compared to Flightcare's service, Aviapartner is a much better partner. But will Aviapartner be able to cope with the increase of flights. In the morning, on a freezing day, de-cing delays run up already... and as usual, you get what you pay for.

Anyway that doesn't take away that this boarding error could also have happened with an aviapartner gate imo...

20% Cheaper maybe but I doubt the service is as good. (Keep on smiling check-in agents

Tomskii,
you can be sure of it that the service of aviapartner is 20 times better then flightcare was...
A couple of years ago i came back from RHO with jaf,waiting for a full hour before flightcare even began to put the luggage on the belt.Aviapartner had handeld 3 planes in that very same hour....say's enough i think..

Had the same experience several times. But also had this experience with Aviapartner being the handler. And with Aviaparther I experienced numerous times the belt started to make the first bag on time, but no bags coming up for the next 10 minutes or something. So i think service, with both, also depends on the airline, the contract they have with the handler, the SLA they have in place with the handler, ... If an airline is 30 minutes late, is it the handler to blame the lack of staff because of serveral aircraft on ground at the same time ? Should they plan for each and every occassion ? And who will pay for that ? So those who can say that one of them is better in all occassion and situations is or having lucky experiences or having a personal opinion... Too many factors that are unclear. Is same as discussion who you prefer to fly: b.air or RYR. What is your ticket price ? What is your expectation ? etc etc. But pls, let it not become a discussion on this...
