Tata Consultancy Services and Swissport International Renew Partnership for Five More Years
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Swissport International have extended and expanded their long-running partnership by a further five years, with the renewed agreement centred on digital innovation, operational excellence and technology transformation across Swissport’s global business.
The deal builds on a collaboration spanning more than a decade and signals a stronger focus on modernising Swissport’s technology environment as the aviation services provider adapts to a rapidly changing operating landscape.
Focus on AI, Data Platforms and Cloud Modernisation
Under the expanded agreement, TCS will support the continued evolution of Swissport’s technology landscape by scaling AI-enabled services, data platforms and hybrid cloud operations.
The partnership is aimed at helping Swissport improve resilience, strengthen service delivery and build a more agile digital operating model across its worldwide ground handling and airport services activities.
TCS said it will use AI-driven capabilities to enhance IT service operations, support operational continuity and improve the employee experience across mission-critical environments.
Decade-Long Collaboration Delivers Operational Gains
Over the past ten years, TCS has played a key role in supporting Swissport’s digital development, helping the company improve service stability, increase efficiency and accelerate the rollout of new technologies.
Together, the two companies have built a scalable and secure digital backbone by integrating data, automation and user-focused design into Swissport’s operations.
According to the partners, this has contributed to improved turnaround efficiency, stronger operational visibility and faster deployment of digital capabilities across multiple regions.
Supporting Long-Term Growth Strategy
Dave Lynch, Group CIO at Swissport International, said the partnership with TCS has been instrumental in reinforcing the digital foundation of the company’s global operations.
He said the renewed agreement would help Swissport continue innovating at scale, strengthen operational excellence and support its long-term growth ambitions.
Arun Pradeep Surendra Mohan, Business Head for Travel, Transportation and Hospitality, EMEA and APAC at TCS, said the collaboration combines aviation expertise with cloud, data and AI-led innovation to generate measurable operational impact.
Building a More Agile and Future-Ready Operation
The renewed partnership is expected to further expand AI-enabled services and digital platforms across Swissport’s business, supporting a more data-driven and future-ready operating model.
As airport operators and ground handlers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, resilience and visibility, the agreement positions Swissport to continue modernising its operations while maintaining flexibility for long-term growth.
