Briefings

SATA Holding received six non-binding proposals for the privatization of SATA Handling, with Aviapartner, Swissport, and Menzies Aviation among the interested parties. The group will now evaluate these proposals according to its internal agenda, while the Sindicato dos Trabalhadores da Aviação (SITAVA) and Sindicato Nacional dos Trabalhadores da Aviação Civil (SINTAC) have initiated a partial strike between October 21 and November 3 to contest the privatization.

Key points

• SATA Holding received six non-binding proposals for the privatization of SATA Handling, with Aviapartner, Swissport, and Menzies Aviation among the interested parties.
• The Sindicato dos Trabalhadores da Aviação (SITAVA) and Sindicato Nacional dos Trabalhadores da Aviação Civil (SINTAC) have initiated a partial strike between October 21 and November 3 to contest the privatization.

Context

The SATA Holding process involves a 30-month period where non-binding proposals are evaluated before binding ones are selected. The privatization of SATA Handling includes strict labor protections and service continuity requirements, while the SITAVA and SINTAC strikes aim to challenge the process.

Limitations

The evidence does not specify the names of the selected entities, the exact evaluation criteria beyond strategic quality and financial sustainability, or the final outcome of the strike. The article also mentions a separate privatization of Azores Airlines with five interested parties, but provides no details on that process.
