JUN 24, 2003 (newstodate): Following on SWISS' announcement of drastic reductions in scope of operations, SWISSPORT announces that it will be forced to eliminate around 350 positions in Switzerland.
SWISSPORT expects to have to eliminate a total of some 350 jobs at its Zurich, Basel and
Geneva operating bases.
Full details of the extent of these measures
and the areas they will primarily affect will not be available until the new flight schedules and product specifications are confirmed. Definite decisions and precise figures are thus not expected until the beginning of July, the company says.
Swissport predicts that the planned downsizing of SWISS will reduce
its total revenues by some CHF 60 million a year. SWISS accounts for 50 per cent of Swissport's total revenue in Switzerland and 20 per cent of its total revenue worldwide.
