At Auckland airport, Swissport Executive Aviation is to operate a private FBO terminal and VIP lounge where customs, immigration and baggage clearance are taken care of. There is an in-house travel agency too.

Universal Weather and Aviation has designated SkyCare International of Aukland, New Zealand as its new preferred handler in the area, serving all of New Zealand and the Southwestern Pacific. “By entering into these specialised relationships, we are able to provide superior service worldwide via a highly reputable network of independent ground handlers,” said Ralph Vasami, president of Universal Weather and Aviation.
