The hundreds of baggage handlers, ticketing agents, gate managers and ramp operators let go last week at Cleveland Hopkins International won't hamper flights or service, the airport said.
Swissport , which is laying off 213 employees at Cleveland Hopkins, has handled luggage for Frontier , along with a number of airlines at CLE in the past few decades.
Over the weekend, Swissport USA, the Switzerland-based company that handles passenger bags at 60 airports across the country, filed paperwork at the state level to officialize a mass layoff of 213 of their employees. Swissport has had a contractual relationship with a list of airlines since they set up shop here in 1996.
All changes that, whether seen on the flight board or at the gate, could possibly alter air travel rhythms in the coming months.Plausible interruptions that Swissport's former airline clientele and Hopkins itself denies will be noticeable when the company formally ends its ground handling operations in Cleveland on November 4.
In an email, Swissport told Scene that all 213 employees were handed WARN notices, federally-required notificatat least two months prior to being let go.
