On the September 1st 2018, Samsic Handling Dominicana became Aerodom's exclusive service provider. Aerodom is a VINCI Airports Group subsidiary and employs almost 500 staff in airport handling services - aircraft towing and push back, loading/unloading and baggage transfer, aircraft cleaning services - and assistance for people with reduced mobility at Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata airports in the Dominican Republic.

A great number of people are involved in ensuring flights take off or landing and customer satisfaction whilst current standards and procedures are adhered to. Samsic Handling Dominicana’s services meet airline expectations by combining discipline, expertise and responsiveness.

Proven and specialised handling services

Since the Company began operating in September, the teams' attitude and the quality of the services provided have been proven time and time again. Samsic Handling Dominicana has been audited around a dozen times by airlines and has received scores between 97% and 100%. These excellent results are mainly due to the monitoring of daily services: pre-flight briefings which include safety instructions; activity analysis by internal auditors to ensure compliance to procedures; and monthly reporting and meetings with airlines to discuss processes, etc. Regardless of regulations in force and imposed levels of requirements, the teams ensure that they deliver high-quality services in line with the Group's standards of excellence.

Ensuring customer satisfaction with a proactive approach

Samsic Handling Dominicana applies a proactive and sustainable approach to manage and reduce the operational risks of airport handling. Each Samsic employee knows that there is a solution to every problem and they handle them quickly with efficient action plans. Christophe Diblan, Caribbean General Manager, says that “Transparency and good communication is important when dealing with airlines. Our teams are very attentive and are committed to handling requests within 24 hours. That's what sets us apart from the others.” Samsic Handling Dominicana has quickly gained its customers' trust with its straightforward approach to business.

The promising start to this exciting adventure is firm proof of Samsic Handling Dominicana's aim to build a long-term partnership with Aerodom and contribute to the full satisfaction of travellers.
