Swissport International has acquired ViaEurope, an end-to-end e-commerce handling company
According to industry analysts, the volume of cross-border e-commerce goods is expected to increase more than 50% by 2027. The e-commerce capabilities ViaEurope brings will allow Swissport to better serve its customers as the leading airport service provider globally.
The combination of ViaEurope with Swissport creates a single point of contact for shippers, cargo airlines and freight forwarders, while providing a comprehensive service offering across each step of the product journey, from aircraft handling, warehousing, customs clearance, tracking and preparation for delivery. This will allow Swissport to offer an expanded suite of services to its customers.
“ViaEurope has an industry-leading offering that provides global e-commerce players improved lead times and visibility. ViaEurope’s focus on efficiency and operational excellence aligns perfectly with Swissport’s ambition and DNA. It also provides us with a leading solution in the rapidly growing e-commerce logistics space,” said Warwick Brady, president and CEO of Swissport International. “We are looking forward to welcome the ViaEurope leadership and people as new colleagues”.
