Swissport International has assumed responsibility via its Swissport Fueling Services subsidiary for all into-plane fueling for Southwest Airlines at the carrier’s Chicago Midway hub. The extensive agreement, which has been concluded for a three-year period, covers 225 flights a day.
Swissport now provides all the into-plane fueling services required by Southwest Airlines at Chicago Midway Airport, through its Swissport Fueling Services subsidiary. Swissport Fueling Services assumed responsibility for these operations on 15-Oct. Swissport is delighted to extend its services for Southwest Airlines to the carrier’s Chicago Midway hub: the partners already work together at six other major US airports, and both welcome the extended collaboration.
Stan Livingston, CEO of Swissport Fueling Services said, “It’s a tribute to a customer’s confidence in us that they entrust the fueling of 225 of their flights a day to our care for a three-year period. But it’s a challenge and a commitment on our part, too – a commitment to continuing to serve Southwest Airlines with an optimum-quality product.” Swissport Fueling Services will conduct the new operation with a workforce of some 50 personnel and over 35 vehicles and further equipment items with a total tank volume of more than 100 million gallons of fuel a year."
