Due to the insolvency of Swissport Belgium, a new ground handling license was put out to tender at Brussels Airport. The bid went to Alyzia SAS. In June 2020, the company received a license that was initially limited to six months.
Following a European tendering process, the French ground handling service provider received a license to handle baggage and ramp handling for passenger aircraft by October 2025. Alyzia currently operates at Brussels Airport with a temporary license following Swissport's bankruptcy in June.
Brussels Airport has granted Alyzia the mandatory second license for baggage and ramp handling, the other license is held by Aviapartner Belgium NV. After the dealer Swissport Belgium was declared bankrupt in June, Alyzia was granted a temporary license. At the same time, a European selection process was launched in order to find a structural replacement. Of the three candidates who responded to the tender, Alyzia received the best rating.
For the remainder of the current license period until the end of October 2025, Alyzia will be granted a license for two ground handling activities: baggage handling and ramp handling of passenger aircraft. These are categories of ground handling services that are limited to two suppliers at Brussels Airport. In addition, they can also provide services such as passenger handling services (including check-in) and aircraft cleaning services.
