Swissport Boosts Sustainability at Basel and Geneva Airports with Electric Vehicles

In line with its commitment to sustainability, Swissport Basel aims to have 49% of its ground support equipment electrified by the end of 2024, while Swissport Geneva plans to expand its electric vehicle portfolio to 58%. Swissport prioritizes investing in electric ground support equipment (eGSE), making it the standard for many equipment types. Over the next three years, the company plans to make 80% of all new motorized GSE acquisitions and replacements electric, investing over a billion euros in electric vehicles and equipment over the next decade. The company’s global sustainability goals include achieving 55% electric vehicles in its global fleet by 2032 and a 42% CO2 reduction from its operations compared to 2022 levels. Swissport collaborates closely with aviation partners to develop sustainable solutions, including recharging infrastructure for electric vehicles. In 2023, the company provided top-tier airport ground services for approximately 232 million airline passengers and handled about 4.7 million tons of air freight at 115 air cargo centers worldwide.
