Menzies Aviation secures two contract wins at Auckland Airport

At New Zealand’s largest and busiest airport, Auckland Airport, Menzies’ ground handling portfolio continues to grow with the agreement of two significant contracts.

This includes a five year contract with Korean Air, which will see Menzies Aviation handle passenger, ramp and cargo services for the flag carrier of South Korea. Menzies has also been appointed by Qatar Airways to deliver passenger and ramp handling services at the airport for a three year term.

Also, at Macau International Airport, flag carrier Air Macau has extended its partnership with Menzies for another five years. With a long-standing relationship dating back to 1995, the contract renewal sees Menzies Aviation deliver a full suite of ground handling services at Air Macau’s hub.
