Schiphol is taking an important step towards improving the quality of ground handling and the work done by ground handlers. On 4 December, the tendering procedure will begin for the selection of three ground handling companies who will be responsible for the baggage process and work done around aircraft, such as loading and unloading baggage, placing chocks under aircraft wheels and connecting ground power units.
With this tender, the airport aims to improve quality of service and ensure better working conditions for thousands of employees who contribute to safe and efficient operations every day. There are currently six parties carrying out these activities.
