With this new contract in Spain, XOPS, via its GSE partner AES, (both Alvest Group Companies), extends its position in this country, now having a presence in 27 Spanish airports, supporting many airlines and ground operators.

Jean-François Bouilhaguet, CEO of XOPS Airport Asset Management Solutions, says: « We are excited to be embarking on this partnership with Red Handling and to be able to cement our position in the country further. »

According to the new AENA requirement to obtain the handling licence, XOPS pooling platform can be accessed by handlers at various Spanish airports to share equipment.

Bouilaguet adds: « We prefer the term “sharing” rather than “airport pooling”. GSE sharing is a first step to start optimising equipment airside. We keep the term ‘airport pooling’ for projects such as in Hong Kong where 100% of GSE are pooled, monitored and automatically assigned to operators by the IT solution. Our system ensures the best fleet optimisation, productivity and on-time handling on a very large scale at an international airport. »
