He was the airline’s Vice President Cargo Asia Pacific before that. He began his career in 1997 with Air France, where he had a number of jobs in business development and logistics until joining the joint venture SkyTeam Cargo US with Air France, Delta Airlines, and Korean Air.

Guillaume, a French national, has a master’s degree in business administration from Nancy, France’s ICN Business School.

Swissport wants to establish itself as the preferred service provider for international airlines. In particular, if a partnership is to progress towards an integrated hub management structure, stable client connections are a must. The management staff at Swissport is well knowledgeable about what airlines need, making us their partner of choice for operations that are stable, dependable, safe, and economical. Swissport offers world-class value for money to both low-cost and global network airlines.

The three main, strategically important service categories and sources of revenue for Swissport are ramp handling, passenger services, and air cargo handling.
