Carrying its logo and know-how to the international aviation ground handling arena, Çelebi started the provision of ground handling services to Austrian Airlines at Delhi International Indira Gandhi Airport as of October 1. The agreement between Çelebi and Austrian Airlines is a significant development for the company, which gradually and steadily gains momentum in India's ground handling market, as well as other countries. As an addition to its cargo warehousing services, Çelebi started to provide ground handling services at Delhi International Indira Gandhi Airport on June 2.

In four months, Celebi Ground Handling Delhi established a solid client base, including Air Astana, Kam Air, Turkish Airlines, Air Cargo Germany and Austrian Airlines. According to the agreement, Çelebi will provide Austrian Airlines, a Star Alliance member, passenger and ramp services at Delhi International Indira Gandhi Airport. Austrian Airlines have six flights per week between Delhi International Indira Gandhi Airport and Vienna International Airport with Boeing 767 A/C aircrafts. Moreover, Hong Kong Airlines will also be handled by Çelebi from November 1.

“In order to realize this agreement, both companies conducted a preparatory operational readiness process that started two months before signature. The first service delivered yesterday night (October 1) proved to be smooth, efficient and in compliance with Austrian Airlines' high safety and security standards. I would like to congratulate both Austrian Airlines and Çelebi's Delhi personnel,” said Taner Sarı, CEO of Celebi Delhi Ground Handling Company.

“Çelebi is proud to be associated with Austrian Airlines, renowned internationally for its exceptionally high quality standards and well designated monitoring processes. It is certainly fulfilling for us to be their partners on ground. We are sure that we will be able to add value to their operations in India and are looking forward to the provision of customized integrated services ensuring consistency on attaining mutually agreed service standards and making passengers smile when they arrive at Delhi International Airport,” said Çelebi Holding Global Marketing and Sales Director Athina Kapeni.
