Aviator, a full-range provider of aviation services at 15 airports across the Nordics and a family member of Avia Solutions Group, has signed a partnership agreement with Ryanair for ground handling services.
Under the new partnership, Aviator will provide Ryanair with full passenger- and ramp-handling services, including de-icing, at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The five-year agreement was signed in July for services to be provided starting in October 2021. Aviator performs emission-free turnarounds at Arlanda Airport and is in the process of becoming totally electric in all its operations.
Ryanair Holdings plc, Europe’s largest airline group, the parent company of Buzz, Lauda, Malta Air and Ryanair, has been leading the European market for over 35 years. The company operates 450 aircraft with another 210 on the way. Ryanair continues its expansion and is opening 21 new routes at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, adding 89 new weekly departures.
Additionally, Aviator and Ryanair have extended their ground handling services partnership at Helsinki Airport for four more years for ground handling and de-icing services. From October, Aviator will support 29 weekly Ryanair departures from Helsinki. These two agreements continue strengthening Aviator’s partnership with the low-cost carrier and adds to the relatively new agreement, signed in March 2020, for ground handling and de-icing services in Copenhagen Airport for a five-year period.
