   Swissport International, a provider of ground services to the aviation sector, has won cargo handling contracts with Lufthansa and Finnair at Copenhagen Airport.
   Services for Lufthansa will begin Dec. 1, and will include cargo handling for the German carrier’s multiple daily flights to and from the airport and road feeder services between Copenhagen and its Frankfurt Airport main hub.
   Also starting Dec. 1, Swissport will begin cargo handling for Finnair’s multiple daily narrow-body aircraft flights at Scandinavia’s busiest airport, as well as road feeder services to and from Copenhagen.
   Swissport began offering cargo handling services at Copenhagen in July to launch customer Swiss WorldCargo, and plans to offer the full range of cargo handling services in Denmark and eventually across the entire Nordic region.
