[Ilkka Mäkelä 919]

Kiinalaisen Hainan Airlinesin emoyhtiö HNA Group ostaa maapalveluyhtiö Swissport Internationalin 2,8 miljardin dollarin kauppahintaan. Vaadittavat viranomaishyväksynnät odotetaan saatavan vuoden loppuun mennessä.

 

Hainan Airlines (HU, Haikou) parent, HNA Group, has agreed to acquire global ground-handling and cargo services firm Swissport from French private equity firm PAI Partners for CHF2.73 billion (USD2.82 billion). The transaction is expected to close by year-end subject to customary anti-trust approvals and approval by the Chinese authorities.

 

“HNA is excited to support Swissport's world class management team as they continue to provide the highest quality service to the airline industry and their passengers. HNA is committed to Swissport’s future success in the global aviation market," Adam Tan, President of HNA Group, said.
