The SAirServices Group offered Aircraft Maintenance, Ground Handling, Customer Service within Switzerland and internationally as well as computerised solutions for Airlines and equipment maintenance. SAirServices were dissolved after the SAirGroup collapsed, and most of the formerly owned companes found a new owner.
Swissport was Swissair's Ground Handling Operator, and operated worldwide for Swissair and Third Party Airlines.
Until 1996 the company had operated under the name "Swissair Ground Services" at Zurich, Geneva and Basle airports for over 40 years. In 1996 Swissport International Limited became part of the SAirServices division, as a independent ground handling company within the SAirGroup. Since then Swissport has grown internationally. For a complete overview of the growth see Swissport's history.
In 2002 Swissport was taken over by Candover, and continued its expansion under the new owners. Also, a new logo was introduced. In 2005 Swissport was taken over by the spanish ferrovial Group.
