Aviator Airport Alliance has signed a contract with Tunisian carrier Nouvelair to provide full handling services at Helsinki Airport.
Tunisia’s second-largest airline finalised the agreement with Aviator, which is the biggest independent provider of airport ground handling in the Nordics, last month.
Aviator is also part of the world-leading ACMI provider, Avia Solutions Group.
It is the first such contract between the companies, though Nouvelair has previously formed partnerships with additional members of the Avia Solutions Group in other European countries.
“We are very pleased to begin this new partnership with Nouvelair,” said Kimmo Holopainen, Managing Director of Aviator Airport Services Finland.
“Aviator in Helsinki will deliver reliability and a high-quality service, ensuring safety and efficiency for all of Nouvelair’s handling needs here.”
Aviator’s Finland-based team will be offering a full scope of services to the carrier, including passenger handling, ramp handling and de-icing.
Nouvelair currently runs weekly charters between Helsinki and Monastir on the Tunisian coast, and operates a fleet of Airbus A320 and A320 Neo aircraft.
Zarrad Chokri, CEO at Nouvelair, said: “We believe in the potential Tunisia has as an attractive location for Finnish holiday makers, and our presence in Finland is developing.
“In Aviator, we have a trusted ground handling partner who can support our growth there.”
