Apr 20, 2017 (newstodate): One handling company and service provider at Copenhagen Airport has folded its wings: Europe Handling that has filed for bankruptcy on April 3, 2017.
The company offered a range of services including aircraft interior cleaning, media services and VIP and special services for a range of airline customers including Emirates, Qatar, Thai Airways, Mahan Air and others.
The management headed by Jan Kenneth Aarestrup Skelskov as managing director, stepped down by April 3, and the bankruptcy filing followed immediately afterwards.
Europe Handling was set up on November 4, 2014, by two holding companies but run into dire financial straits, leaving 2016 with highly critical auditor remarks to its annual report and finally capitulated after unsuccessful efforts to raise fresh capital.
Driving the establishing of Europe Handling was SAS Ground Handling's sales of these service activities to Sodexo in 2014, leaving Sodexo with a virtual monopoly at Copenhagen Airport that the new market entrant sought to challenge - with limited success..
