Cargo handling Available
GH Catania S.r.l. (GH Italia group)
Loading/unloading of mail and cargo (plus baggage) using conveyor belts and k-loaders is within the scope of GH Catania's SAC handling contract per the award reporting (Air Cargo Italy). Note: the Comiso handler certification table lists categories 2/3/5/6 (not a standalone cat.4 freight certificate), so cargo is handled operationally under the broader handling appalto rather than as a separately marketed cargo station.

Aviation security Available
SAC Service S.r.l. (wholly owned by SAC, the airport operator)
In-house security services company of SAC providing passenger/baggage screening, surveillance and access control. SAC ran a public selection in 2024 to recruit ~100 sworn security guards (guardie particolari giurate) explicitly 'per l'aeroporto di Comiso (RG)', and SAC Service's published activities cover airport security screening, surveillance and access-barrier control under convention with its sole shareholder SAC. Corrected: company is an S.r.l. (not S.p.A.); the claimed 'staff sourced via ICTS' is unsupported - the Comiso guards were recruited directly by SAC.
