airlines: All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan
Airlines (JAL). Both of them provide services
in the field of ground handling at the majority
of the country's largest airports, including the
Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND),
Narita International Airport (NRT), Kansai International Airport (KIX) and Chubu
Centrair International Airport (NGO) among
others.
The provision of services is usually conducted through their subsidiaries, as their
customers are both leading domestic and foreign airlines. As a rule, these subsidiaries can
operate in different airports throughout Japan,
while their activities are not restricted by their
base airports.
In terms of market structure, according
to assessments of experts of the Japanese
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport
and Tourism, the combined share of both All
Nippon Airways and JAL Ground Service, (a
ground handling subsidiary of Japan Airlines)

is estimated at 62 percent (31 percent apiece),
which make them absolute leaders in the market, in terms of value of the provided services.
In the meantime, the share of Swissport -
the third largest player in the local market - is
estimated at about 12 percent of the market.
At present Swissport, along with the Universal
Aviation, remain the only foreign providers of
ground handling services in Japan.
In regard to Swissport, the company
expanded in the Japanese market as far back as
2006. That took place by the acquisition of the
local ground handler ShinMaywa Ground Services. Swissport now operates in the majority of
Japanese major airports, including Chubu Centrair International Airport, Narita International
Airport and Kansai International Airport.
Stephan Kaeser, director and COO at Swissport Japan, says in recent years the company
has significantly increased its presence in the
Japanese market, which resulted in the addition of several new routes as well as some new

Narita.
Kaeser also adds
that the company
will continue its expansion in the local market within the next several years with plans
to open a new station in Okinawa. That was
scheduled to commence in September, 2019.
According to assessments of the Japanese
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport
and Tourism, at present the Japanese market
of ground services is estimated at about $2.32.4 billion (USD) in value terms, however, the
increase of tourism flows to the country and
other factors may contribute to the growth of
these figures up to $3 billion (USD) over the
