What is "aviapartner"

Aviapartner, whose origins date back to 1949 under the name of Herfurth Air Services to become 'Belgavia' in the late 1960s, is a Belgian company that provides aircraft ground handling services at 32 airports in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands. Among the airports served are Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin-Tegel, Frankfurt A.M., Milan, Rome, Nice and Paris-CDG. Herfurth/Belgavia started aircraft handling at Antwerp,Deurne airport and extended its activities at Ostend airport in the early 1960s. Later it started handling at Brussels and other airports. On June 9, 2011 Aviapartner lost its operating license at Brussels Airport to Swiss-based Swissport for a period of 7 years. But the court broke this decision. Aviapartern kept its licence and Swissport merged with FlightCare, the second aircraft ground services company at Brussels Airport. Note that there are only two licences at Brussels airport.
