Two million turnarounds a year, all performed with Swiss precision and reliability. ✈️ From the moment an aircraft reaches the stand, our ramp teams move quickly and safely, positioning ground power, unloading baggage, refuelling, catering, and preparing boarding within minutes. With precise coordination and experienced teams, we can achieve turnaround times under 35 minutes for low-cost carriers, as demonstrated here by our fantastic team in Basel. ⏱️ Short turnaround times aren’t luck. They’re the result of disciplined processes, strong teamwork, and a commitment to safe, efficient operations.

Proud to see our Aspire Executive Lounges team continue to set the standard in airport hospitality. 👏
