Today, Swissport Italy proudly celebrates its first anniversary, marking a milestone of its successful entry into the Italian market. With a dynamic leadership team and a dedicated workforce, strong customer relationships, and an unwavering focus on continuous improvement, Swissport Italy is poised for sustained growth.

On 14 July 2022, Swissport Italy embarked on an extraordinary endeavor by taking over the ITA Airways' hub operation at Rome Fiumicino airport. This strategic move involved the seamless integration of approximately 1,600 highly skilled professionals from the former Alitalia team, solidifying Swissport Italy's position as a trusted industry leader in this dynamic market. In October 2022, Milan-Linate airport was added to the Italian portfolio, bringing the total number of Swissport employees in Italy to an impressive 2,355.
