900 UK jobs created as global pressures defied by Swissport

The Cheshire-based UK division has reported pretax profits of £39.8m for 2024, a dramatic leap from the £10.5m recorded in the previous 12 months.

This earlier figure marked the first profitable year for the division since 2018 within the broader Swissport group.

Fresh filings with Companies House reveal the company's workforce expanded significantly in 2024, climbing from 6,200 to 7,100 employees.

This growth follows the creation of 1,400 positions in 2023.
