A quick question for you uber knowledgeable people.

Who is responsible for supplying the aircraft handlers (i.e. marshalers) and the refuelers at Christchurch International?

Hi there.
As far as I know the ground handling is done by Air New Zealand staff. Other International airlines either contract Air New Zealand staff to do theirs or hire their own. Singapore airlines has it's own check in staff. etc etc. Refueling is done by the fuel companies themselves.

This is for what I have heard.
