Aug 14, 2006 (newstodate): The Turkish company Celebi Ground Handling Inc has emerged as the preferred bidder for Budapest Airport's ground handling business.
Celebi Ground Handling will now be taken to the next stage of negotiations, while BA, the airport's owner, reserves its rights to open discussion with other bidders in case of failure to land the deal.
-We issued the tender as ground handling is not a business that an airport operator is best-placed to run, as it can be managed much better by a specialist ground handling company, says David Newman, subsidiary director of Budapest Airport.
