Zurich - In this newly-created position, which he will assume on 1 July, Messner will be responsible for operational matters within Swissport’s various markets (together with the local Swissport organisations) and for the head-office functions of operational support, quality, health & safety, e-services and the Swissport Formula programme. Raising efficiencies and promoting further groupwide standardisation will be other key priorities.
