DHL Supply Chain has announced the extension of its Gatwick Ground Handling agreement with easyJet through to 2027.

The extension follows a five-year contract signed in 2017.

The contract will see DHL continue to deliver core customer service and logistics operations including passenger arrival and bag-drop, baggage sortation, boarding gate marshalling, aircraft loading and unloading, as well as management of other service providers.

Spencer Conday, MD Supply Chain Solutions, DHL Supply Chain, said:

“The continuation of our partnership with easyJet is of huge importance to DHL and something that we are immensely proud of. In what has been an incredibly challenging time for the airline industry, we’ve worked in close partnership to respond to the changing needs of easyJet and its passengers.”
