SINGAPORE, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Airport ground handling firm Swissport International, a unit of Spain's Grupo Ferrovial (FER.MC: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), will halt its operations in Singapore, the city-state's civil aviation body said on Monday.
Swissport, which started operations at Changi in 2005, has chalked up losses of more than S$50 million ($33.6 million), the Straits Times reported last month.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said Swissport's airline clients will continue to receive the same level of service through new agreements with either of the two other ground handlers at Changi Airport, namely Singapore Airport Terminal Services, a unit of Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), and Changi International Airport Services.
