Aviation services provider Aviator Airport Alliance has secured a five-year contract from Lufthansa Group for ground handling and de-icing/anti-icing services.

Under the agreement, Aviator will provide the services at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport to Deutsche Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines, and Austrian Airlines, which are airlines under the Lufthansa Group.

Lufthansa Group Northern Central Europa regional manager Sven Thaler said: “After our successful collaboration in Copenhagen and Gothenburg, we look forward to expanding our collaboration with Aviator in Scandinavia.

“This strengthens the position and brand presence of the Lufthansa Group in Stockholm-Arlanda.”

The contract will come into effect from May 2023 and cover nearly 111 turnarounds a week for the group.

Aviator, which is part of Avia Solutions Group, has been providing ground handling services ranging from passenger and baggage handling to de-icing, cargo, and full-freight handling.
