SWISSPORT International, as acquired US-based New Age Security Solutions (NASS) with immediate effect. The acquisition will enable Swissport to offer further security solutions at airports alongside its present airline and cargo security services.
NASS, which is based in Maryland, USA, was founded soon after the events of 11 September, 2001, to help meet the increased security needs of both state and private organisations.
The acquisition of NASS will enable Swissport International to further expand and develop its aviation security activities and raise its profile in the airport security field. NASS's network and expertise should also open up new opportunities for Swissport Cargo Services USA in the rapidly-growing cargo security market. "Swissport needs more knowledge and experience to expand its activities in these fields," said Erich Bodenmann, executive vice-president, aviation speciality services at Swissport International, "and NASS is the partner to provide them."
Rafi Ron, chief executive officer of NASS and an acknowledged security specialist, is equally delighted at the new collaboration. "With its worldwide network of more than 180 stations and over 600 airline customers, Swissport offers tremendous potential for substantially increasing the scope of our activities."
