Swissport and easyJet to extend their successful collaboration in Geneva

Zurich, 29 October 2009 - Swissport International, the world's
leading provider of ground services to the aviation sector, is to
extend its existing cooperation agreement with leading European
low-cost carrier easyJet for a further four years. The accord, which
is of major importance to both partners, covers the provision of
ground services at Geneva Airport for some 31 000 movements a year.

Swissport and easyJet have been successfully collaborating at Geneva
Airport for several years now. With the precise numbers varying from
season to season, between 250 and 350 Swissport ground personnel are
currently assigned to looking after easyJet services, providing the
full range of ground handling required for some 3.8 million
passengers a year travelling to more than 40 destinations.

The fact that the present cooperation agreement is now to be extended
for a further four years is testimony to the partners' flawless
collaboration and reciprocal confidence and trust. easyJet has
expanded its Geneva station into a key European hub over the past
four years, almost doubling both flight numbers and passenger
volumes.

"We're delighted to have extended our present collaboration," says
Ernest Hochuli, CEO of Swissport Geneva. "I'm convinced that we will
continue to provide easyJet with a Geneva ground handling operation
that is not only punctual but also meets and maintains the highest
quality standards. I also see further growth potential for easyJet's
Station Geneva; and we will be doing our utmost to ensure that the
excellent collaboration we already enjoy can be further developed and
refined in the years ahead."

easyJet is equally pleased with the new extended accord. "We are
confident that, despite the present economic difficulties, we will
see a further increase in demand for our flights and will remain
successful in the longer term," says Jean-Marc Thévenaz, Managing
Director of easyJet Switzerland. "We're also convinced that in
Swissport, we have selected the right partner for our Geneva
operations for the years ahead."

easyJet, which has achieved swift and successful growth over the past
few years, is one of Swissport's five biggest airline customers
worldwide. In addition to its Geneva operations, easyJet has
entrusted Swissport with its ground handling in Basel and Zurich in
Switzerland and at five further stations in the UK and Spain.
