Dec 13, 2013 (newstodate): With the lofty vision to become "the World´s Greatest Aviation Service Provider", the Nordic handling group Aviator is determined to continue its growth in 2014.
-We have expanded our commercial team in 2013, and much effort is now being dedicated to the process of re-branding the Group's companies to emerge as one entity with unified service standards at all our stations, says Catharina Redgaard, Nordic Aero Commercial Director.
-First to operate under the unified brand name Aviator were the Norwegian Aviator-companies R�ros and Norport from September 1, 2013, already, and from February 1, 2014, Sweden's Nordic Aero and Denmark's Novia will follow suit.
-We are determined to grow our business in several ways - seeking new airline customers at our existing stations and seeking to extend existing customer contracts at individual stations to cover also other Aviator stations, expanding cooperation with existing customers by offering additional services to them, and also expanding into stations currently not served by Aviator.
-Our business focus will remain on serving the Nordic markets, but I would not preclude adding also stations outside these markets if promising business opportunities should emerge.
-Among new business initiatives could be opening more lounges at airports such as we have already done at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
-Air cargo handling is already within our scope of business, with cargo handling services provided at Malmoe, Stockholm, Arlanda, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stavanger, but cargo handling would indeed one of the targets as incremental services to airlines that are already customers at Aviator's airport stations, says Ms Redgaard.
The Aviator Group was founded in December 2010, when Aviator purchased the Swedish company Nordic Aero, and the two Norwegian companies, R�ros Flyservice and Norport Ground Handling. An Additional acquisition was made April 2011, when Aviator made an agreement with the Danish company Novia to purchase all shares of Novia and Sturup Handling.
Aviator currently provides ground handling services at 22 airports in Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden
