The order comes as Swissport and PrivatAir report the continuing expansion of their Geneva-based joint venture PrivatPort, launched in 2003. In 2007, turnover grew 40 per cent and rapid growth continued in the first quarter of this year, PrivatPort reports. It adds: "The company is focusing on the creation of FBO partnerships in Europe as well as the extension of the current business and customer retaining programme."
