Aviator Airport Alliance, an aviation services company for Nordic airports, has partnered with Icelandair to provide ground support for its operations at Copenhagen, Stockholm Arlanda, and Gothenburg airports.
“This is a major agreement for Aviator because Icelandair’s operations represent a significant portion of trans-Atlantic connectivity,” said Casper Olhoff Dons, Chief Commercial Officer at Aviator. “This is the result of the trust established from our work with the airline at Helsinki, and we are excited to build on that partnership. Under the new partnership, Aviator will provide services for the Boeing 757, Boeing 737, and the newly introduced Airbus A321LR in the Icelandair fleet. These flights will offer seamless connections to Reykjavik and onward to North America.”
The partnership is contracted to last three years, and Aviator Airport Alliance will commence operations at Stockholm Arlanda and Gothenburg at the end of October, followed by Copenhagen in early November.
The airline anticipates around 1350 departures a year from Copenhagen, 22 from Gothenburg, and 525 from Stockholm Arlanda. Aviator Airport Alliance provided ground support for Helsinki-Vantaan Airport this year for Icelandair, and also in partnership with Pegasus Airlines, and has had an agreement with the Pegasus since 2009 at Copenhagen Airport.
“Aviator was selected because we expect a high volume of flights for these airports, and they have earned our trust for the task,” commented ÁSTÞÓR INGASON, Director Airport Operations at Icelandair. “Providing trans-Atlantic connectivity on our network requires reliable operations for our partners, and that’s what makes Aviator a dependable choice.”
