Swissport Italia general manager Marina Bottelli said: “We are honoured and excited to partner with the Mexican national airline. AeroMexico can rely on Swissport’s recognised experience as a reliable partner for a vast range of aviation services between the landing and the take-off of their flights.
“Our launch in Italy just nine months ago, when we also took over the complete hub handling of ITA Airways at their home base, was a great success, and we are pleased that our customer portfolio continues to grow and now includes 50 renowned airlines.”
Initially, the Mexican airline will run four weekly flights, with plans to increase it to seven flights from the middle of June 2023.
