* Will the LH Group outsource ticketing/ground operations to Menzies, or bring in their own employees (doubtful)?
* Will the LH Group eliminate operations to/from BGO, SVG, GOT, AAR, BLL, Kalmar?
* Will UA combine operations with LH at ARN and CPH?

LHG uses whatever ground handling company they can get the best deal with. They have bounced between the various operators in the nordics since quite some time. SAS does the same in FRA/MUC. The religious use of each others ground services in the hubs went out the door when the JV ended in 2008 or 09.
