In 2001 Lufthansa sold 51% of its ground handling subsidiary, GlobeGround, to Penauille Polyservices. The remaining Lufthansa shares in GlobeGround went to Penauille on 30 June 2002.[9]
As Servisair/GlobeGround (GlobeGround GmbH) its head office was in Raunheim, Germany.[10]
On 19 January 2006 Servisair/GlobeGround became Penauille Servisair.[11]
At a later point, as Penauille Servisair, the company had its head office in Atlantic House, Atlas Business Park, Manchester.[12]
In May 2010 Servisair completed its merger with Aviance UK.[13]
In May 2012 Transat sold Handlex, its handling brand, to Servisair.
In July 2013 it was announced that the Derichebourg has reached an agreement to sell Servisair to Swissport. Servisair's operations were merged into Swissport by December 2013. As a result, Swissport became the largest ground handler in the world with almost 300 locations around the globe. To approve the merger EU mandated that operations in Birmingham, Helsinki, London Gatwick, and Newcastle were to be sold off to a third party to not damage competition in those airports.[14] An agreement was made between Swissport and Aviator Airport Alliance to fulfil this requirement.[15]
