Frank Dobbelsteijn, Swissport’s Global Head of Operations, provides insight into how the company is gearing up to deliver seamless service during this peak travel period.
According to Dobbelsteijn, Swissport’s preparation begins with thorough training updates for its teams and meticulous maintenance checks on ground support equipment. This attention to readiness ensures that Swissport’s operations can run smoothly, even as passenger volumes increase significantly.
