Changes in Helsinki-Vantaa arrival services operations
Northport Oy has decided to transfer its arrival service operations at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport as subcontracting work to RTG Ground Handling Oy as of 16 April 2007.

The change will have no impact on contractual relationships between airline customers and Northport Oy, which will remain as before.

Northport Oy will be responsible for providing services to customers in the previous way using RTG Ground Handling Oy as a subcontractor.

Companies belonging to the RTG Group have acted as Northport Oy's business partners in ground handling tasks at Finnish airports for a number of years, and thus also possess the necessary experience of arrival service operations.

The purpose of transferring to subcontracting is to improve the level of service and to improve operational efficiency. Furthermore, SAS Ground Service’s concentration of its own service in RTG at the same time will enable more efficient use of technical and personnel resources than at present.

Particularly in exceptional circumstances, the joint resources will allow travellers to be served more quickly and efficiently than is currently the case.

Finnair
NORTHPORT SELLS DOMESTIC AIRPORT OPERATIONS TO RTG GROUP
2007-03-20 09:14



The Finnair Group’s ground handling company Northport Oy has signed with RTG Ground Handling Oy a transfer of business agreement by which Northport’s ground handling operations will be transferred to the RTG Group’s responsibility at 13 airports in Finland (Ivalo, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Kajaani, Kemi, Kittilä, Kokkola, Kuopi o, Kuusamo, Oulu, Rovaniemi, Vaasa and Turku). In connection with the transfer of business, the RTG Group will assume responsibility for passenger check-in, loading and de-icing services at the domestic airports as of 1 April 2007.

Excluding Turku, ground handling services to date have been handled by subcontractors outside the Finnair Group. The RTG Group, as one of these subcontractors, has handled ground handling at six domestic airports (Ivalo, Joensuu, Kajaani, Kokkola, Kuopio and Vaasa). All sales and subcontracting agreements relating to Northport’s ground handling services at domestic airports, except for Helsinki-Vantaa, will now be transferred to the RTG Group.

Northport will discontinue its Turku ground handling operations, and personnel will transfer to the service of RTG Group under their existing terms of employment. Northport will continue its operations in Helsinki, Stockholm Arlanda and Oslo Gardemoen.

“The arrangement is a continuation of Finnair’s strategy of concentrating on its core business. Transferring domestic airport ground handling operations to a diverse travel services company will enhance operational efficiency by exploiting synergy benefits. For many years, RTG has operated as one of our subcontractors and has created for itself both the expertise and readiness to accept responsibility for customer relationships on an independent basis,” says Northport Oy’s Managing Director, Tero Vauraste.

The RTG Group is a versatile travel services operator whose main field of business is providing travel services cost-effectively as a subcontractor.

“Expanding domestically presents the RTG Group with an opportunity to develop our companies’ operations, especially in ground handling services,” says RTG Group’s President & CEO, Antti Soininen.

Holy crap! Wow, denne så man virkelig ikke komme, men så er det noen år siden man var i AY-systemet. At det var outsourcing på gang, eller lignende, kommer ikke som en overraskelse, men at det skulle bli samme selskap som SK, det er mere overraskende.

Ludde, vad kan du berätta om det här?
