Airport takes over ground handling services
Bournemouth Airport, owned and operated by Regional & City Airports (RCA), has taken back its handling services, including passenger, ramp, aircraft cleaning, dispatch and de-icing, with the 60 full-time posts.
Stephen Gill, Bournemouth Airport’s Managing Director, said: “We took the strategic decision to insource ground handling as we continue to grow and invest in our services, as at other RCA airports.
GROWTH: Bournemouth Airport is owned and operated by Regional & City Airports (RCA). RCA is owned by parent company Rigby Group plc.
“We have worked closely with our employees and airline customers throughout the transition and are pleased with the efficiencies we are seeing.”
The transfer reflects a strategic approach to management and best practice across RCA, the airport management division of Rigby Group plc which acquired Bournemouth Airport two years ago in December 2017.
New routes have been added for Summer 2020, including the Greek islands of Skiathos, in the Aegean Sea, and Zante, in the Ionian Sea.
