Swissport prepares to enter Indian market

Zurich/Delhi: Swissport International, the world leader in the ground handling industry, has concluded a joint-venture agreement with Punj Lloyd Limited (PLL), one of India’s largest engineering and construction companies. Swissport will own 51% and PLL 49% of the new joint venture. With one of the fastest-growing markets in the entire aviation sector, India is a prime priority for Swissport, which sees it as having strong business potential.
The new joint venture will provide a vehicle for both partners to develop projects in the Indian ground handling market, taking advantage of Swissport’s brand and know-how and PLL’s local expertise. The Indian aviation market is currently being liberalised and offers attractive development opportunities.
