Swissport adds Mombasa to its African network
Swissport is adding Mombasa, Kenya, to its growing African network. With this new presence at Mombasa’s Moi International Airport (MBA), Swissport now provides aviation ground services at 31 airports in Africa. In Kenya, Swissport has been supporting airlines in Nairobi since 1997 where it also operates a cargo centre.
Swissport started operations at the airport of the coastal city of Mombasa at the end of December 2022. The first aircraft served by the local Swissport team was a Flightlink Aviation flight from Zanzibar Island. The services offered in Mombasa include passenger services and ramp handling, with the potential to expand to freighter handling. Swissport operates a large air cargo centre at Nairobi International (NBO). (cj)
