TAV Airports’ subsidiary Havas has acquired Zagreb Airport’s ground handling services, becoming the Turkish company’s 31st operating airport.

    Isn't there an EU rule that there has to be at least 2 ground handling providers at EU airports of a certain size?

      I am not shure, but I think that's wrong,
      In Fra and all the bigger airports there's enough traffic for all and diffrent airlines have diffrent partners (like dbx and lhr have dnata, emirates will most likely take dnata)

      But in ZAG I am shure there's no need for 2 operators, as it costs to much unless croatia would have it's own and for other airlines there would be someone else.

      Yes, there is a an EU directive that requires 2 handlers in airports over 2m and Zagreb does have 2. It protects airlines from getting ripped off by monopoly providers of ground handling services.

      Council Directive 96/67/EC says:
      "Member States shall take the necessary measures in accordance with the arrangements laid down in Article 1 to ensure free access by suppliers of groundhandling services to the market for the provision of groundhandling services to third parties."
      That doesn't mean you are required to have 2 handlers but you must ensure free access to more than one handler.
