new KB for grondhandling services.

Post by cnc »

3th handler allowed when 2 years in a row either BRU's handled cargo exceeds 650 000 ton or pax exceeds 24 milion

Bad news imo because right now both cargo and pax handled are far away from those figures

Typical for Schouppe! "Yes, we allow it, on unrealistical conditions!"

Cheers,

Bad news indeed...

From the 17 million today it's an increase with 20.000 extra passengers a day to achieve this... Quite unrealistic...

'De Tijd' calculated that in 2024/25 a third handler will be allowed if traffic will increase the coming years similar to the increase of the second part of 2010. Transit loads are not included in those figures.

Apparently, it seems Menzies will come at BRU.

A lot of rumours

Menzies, Swissport, B.air/LH

If this KB stays, no one for the next 15 years...

So for the next 15 years it will be "normal" to wait an hour for a bag...

don't forget its only about handlers on the tarmac. menzies could start doing warehousing at BRU just like swissport.
BRU's only hope would be that SN or LH start doing handling services

Home based carriers always can start doing selfhandling. They only need to find/train people, buy all the material and find place to park it. Make the cost-benefit calculation and if the benefit is bigger than the cost (like check-in????) they can start. ;)

there's plenty of space on the A terminal's floor level. i think they just have to strengthen the floor

And what to do with the bag sorting system in the A terminal once they decide to use it?

A 3th handler in Brussels is still quite some time away. But SN can do their own handling anytime they want. So with SN doing more and more things themself (like maintenance), may they start their own handling also (maybe with the help of LH?)?

Yes I know, but I actually ment, is there a big chance that SN will start it's own handling?

no, pushback and deicing trucks, gpu's, apu's, ... its all expensive material.
SN doesn't have the money for it currently
1 noselifter that can lift an A333 costs around 1milion euro so it needs a lot of pushbacks to earn back its money

Except from the offices, yes. Another (big) problem is that they indeed have to strengthen the floor and BAC will not be happy to pay for it.

It's again the cost-benefit question, like 'cnc' says, buying all the material, except the APU's as it is A/C equipment, is very expensive and you need also trained people to use these machines. It's not only the investment of material but you have to buy also the knwoledge (experienced people)

What do you mean with KB? Kredietbank? or rather Koniklijk Besluit, which should be translated in English by Royal Decree (RD).
