AeroGround Signs Munich Airport Deal with Adria Airways

AeroGround Flughafen München, the ground handling subsidiary of the Munich Airport operating company (FMG), has reached an agreement with the Slovenian airline Adria Airways on a long-term full-handling contract at Munich Airport.

The deal with Adria Airways covers both aircraft and baggage handling, to be performed by AeroGround, as well as cargo handling through cargogate.

The Star Alliance carrier Adria Airways flies several times a week from Munich to the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, Pristina (Kosovo), and, since the start of this year, to Lódz (Poland).

For Munich Airport's ground handling teams, the deal means an increased order volume of up to 1,200 handling operations per year, or 2,400 aircraft movements.

Commenting on the new contract, Siegfried Pasler, the managing director of AeroGround and Cargogate, said, "We are very proud of the airlines' trust in our full range of services. For us, the success of our sales unit in gaining this new customer will also spur us on in our continuous efforts to develop and improve our quality and efficiency."
