Direct peers

• dnata: dnata is one of the world's largest air services providers (Emirates Group subsidiary), offering ground handling, cargo, catering and travel services across 130+ airports. dnata directly competes with AGI in cargo handling and is a deep-pocketed industry incumbent.
• Worldwide Flight Services (WFS): WFS (owned by SATS/GIC) is a global leader in air cargo handling and ground services with 170+ stations. WFS is highly comparable to AGI Cargo given its cargo-warehouse focus and shared airline customer base at North American gateways.
• Celebi Aviation: Çelebi Aviation is a Turkish-headquartered ground handling and cargo services company with operations across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Comparable to AGI as a mid-sized independent competitor pursuing international expansion.
• Menzies Aviation: Menzies Aviation is a major global aviation services company providing ground handling, cargo, fueling, and passenger services at 200+ airports. Agility-owned Menzies directly competes with AGI for airline handling contracts and station perms in North America and globally.
• PrimeFlight Aviation Services: PrimeFlight is a US-focused aviation services provider offering fueling, ground handling, and cargo services at North American airports. Closely comparable to AGI on geography, customer base (regional US airlines), and service mix.
• Swissport International: Swissport is the world's largest airport ground services and air cargo handling company, operating at ~280 airports globally. It is the most direct competitor to AGI in cargo, ramp, and passenger services with overlapping B2B airline contract model.
• Aviapartner: Aviapartner is a European-headquartered airport ground handling and cargo services company with stations across Europe and Africa. Comparable multi-station independent operator competing in similar B2B airline contracting markets.
• AGS (Airport Ground Services) / TAG Group: TAG / Airport Ground Services provides aviation ground handling and cargo services at multiple North American and European airports, including specifically competing for smaller and mid-sized US station accounts similar to AGI's newer additions.

Broad incumbents

• SATS Ltd: SATS is the Singapore-based market leader in gateway and catering services with significant ground handling exposure post-WFS acquisition. SATS offers a comparable integrated aviation services portfolio and serves as a global benchmark for the AGI platform.

Others

• JetBlue Airways (for in-house comparison): While not a ground handling peer, JetBlue (and similarly major US carriers historically) have considered insourcing ramp/cargo services. Represents the captive alternative that AGI competes against when airlines weigh outsourcing vs. in-house ground handling decisions.
