    Completed acquisition by Servisair UK Limited of the regional ground handling business of Aviance UK Limited ME/4429/10 The OFT’s decision on reference under section 22(1) given on 27 May 2010. Full text of decision published 15 June 2010. PARTIES 1. Servisair UK Limited ('Servisair') provides ground handling services at 21 UK airports. Its ultimate parent is Derichebourg SA, a leading global provider of aviation ground handling operations delivering a range of ground handling services across 148 airports worldwide. 2. Aviance UK Limited ('Aviance') is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group, a leading UK public transport operator, and founder member of the worldwide Aviance alliance of airport service providers. Prior to this transaction, Aviance operated at a number of UK airports including Edinburgh, Heathrow, Manchester and Stansted. TRANSACTION 3. The transaction concerns the transfer to Servisair of Aviance's ground handling business at 11 regional airports in the UK, namely Aberdeen, Belfast Harbour, Belfast International, Birmingham International, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Luton, Manchester, Southampton and Stansted. In addition to ground handling services, Servisair also acquired Aviance’s passenger lounge at Gatwick and its cargo operations at Stansted. 4. By way of background, Aviance, having decided to exit the provision of ground handling services at regional airports, invited a number of parties operating in the air transport industry to express their interest in acquiring its regional airport ground handling business. Servisair declined to make a bid for Aviance’s ground handling business as a whole. 1 5. Aviance retained its contracts at London Heathrow Terminal 1 as a continuing activity and sold the ground handling business at Heathrow Terminals 3 and 4 to Dnata, a company owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai.

Full text of the decision published on 21 August 2018.

  • Menzies Aviation (Uk) Limited of Part of the Business of Airline Services Limited
    COMPLETED ACQUISITION BY MENZIES AVIATION (UK) LIMITED OF PART OF THE BUSINESS OF AIRLINE SERVICES LIMITED Issues statement 18 September 2018 The reference 1. On 14 August 2018, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act), referred the completed acquisition by Menzies Aviation (UK) Limited (Menzies Aviation) of part of the business of Airline Services Limited (the Merger) for further investigation and report by a group of CMA panel members. 2. Throughout this document we refer to the part of the business purchased by Menzies Aviation as Airline Services, and to Menzies Aviation and its parent John Menzies plc as Menzies (collectively, the Parties), except where the context requires otherwise. 3. The CMA must decide: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition (SLC) within any market or markets in the United Kingdom (UK) for goods or services. 4. In answering these two questions we will apply a ‘balance of probabilities’ threshold to our analysis. That is, we will decide whether it is more likely than not that the Merger has or may be expected to result in an SLC.1 5. In this statement, we set out the main issues we are likely to consider in reaching our decision on the SLC (paragraph 3(b) above), having had regard to evidence referred to in the CMA’s phase 1 decision on relevant merger situation and substantial lessening of competition (the Phase 1 Decision).2 1 Merger Assessment Guidelines (CC2/OFT1254), paragraph 2.12.
