“ASA are delighted to support the new GHI ‘Pride of Ground Handling Awards’. Our industry continues to grow at pace and we see more and more ground handling businesses invest in safety, people and technology. To recognise excellence in what we do, be it innovation, collaboration, ramp safety or simply an ‘unsung hero’ is a great initiative.”

Jon Conway, Director General, Airport Services Association

“Whilst safety must always be the first priority, service and innovation are key to the viability and sustainability of any ground handling business and this must involve establishing the culture of the organisation, management leadership and the motivation of staff. A key element to this will involve continuous innovation, constantly striving to improve all aspects of the business and not simply surviving by being the cheapest option"

John Willis, former Vice Chairman of the International Ground Handling Council

“At Swissport, we believe that recognizing people for their engagement drives a positive culture and demonstrate that getting our operation safer, performant and efficient matter and that all of us can benefit from it, including our customers.”

Alexandre Bolay , VP Global QHSE, Swissport
