Servisair Cargo and Emirates SkyCargo have cemented their long established partnership with the renewal of a multi year cargo handling and trucking contract at regional stations in the UK.

The contract which came into effect on the 1st March 2010 covers on-line cargo handling at 5 regional airports into which Emirates flies - Birmingham, Glasgow, London Gatwick, Manchester and Newcastle, plus off line handling and trucking throughout UK and Ireland.

The agreement compliments the existing partnership between both parties at London Heathrow, where Servisair Cargo has provided handling for Emirates SkyCargo since the launch of Servisair Cargo’s impressive flagship facility in 2006.

Commenting on the renewal, Mohammed Akhlaq, VP Business Development, Servisair Cargo said “The award of this contract reflects the dedication and high quality performance delivered to Emirates SkyCargo by our team each and every day.  We are proud to be Emirates SkyCargo’s key strategic handling partner throughout the UK and look forward to continuing to build on this collaboration in the future.”

Phil Rawlings, Cargo Manager UK and Ireland, Emirates SkyCargo added “We have a very strong and highly reputed product in the marketplace, so it’s important that we work with suppliers that reflect this quality.  Servisair Cargo has a proven track record in delivering a first class service, so it was a natural progression to extend our partnership.”
