Swissport began providing services at KOA Airport on October 30. Swissport is responsible for the ramp handling of aircraft and, through its joint-venture Hallmark Services, also for the wellbeing of WestJet's passengers at check-in and boarding gates.

In addition to Kona, Swissport operates at Honolulu Airport on Oʻahu (HNL); Kahului Airport on Maui (OGG); as well as Lihue Airport on the island of Kauaʻi (LIH). WestJet and Swissport have recently extended all existing contracts for another two years.
