Aviator Airport Alliance, a full-range provider of aviation services at 15 airports across the Nordics and a part of the world's largest ACMI provider, the Avia Solutions Group family, has announced the expansion of a strategic collaboration with Lufthansa Group. The expanded arrangement is effective from December 2023 until November 2026 and applies to an Aviator-operated station in Gothenburg, Sweden (GOT).
The extension of the strategic partnership reinforces Aviator's commitment to providing first-rate full ground handling and de-icing services for the companies of the Lufthansa Group: Lufthansa (LH), Austrian Airlines (OS), Swiss International Air Lines (LX). Brussels Airlines (SN) will join the partnership agreement from April 2024.

We commit to delivering world-class ground handling and de-icing solutions that meet and exceed the industry's highest standards."
Sven Thaler, Head of Ground Operations Continental North at Lufthansa Group, commented, “Our partnership with Aviator has grown every year along with operational efficiency. I firmly believe that, built on mutual trust and respect, it will remain strong for many years to come. Having partners like Aviator is a key element of our success.”
