With the largest global coverage of customs and security filing, CHAMP is uniquely positioned to power and equip Menzies Aviation’s operations with efficiency and compliance. Aiding the processing of import, export and transit controls, CHAMP’s Traxon Global Customs (TGC) solution will be embedded and integrated into the MACH cargo management system.

The solution reduces the risk of customs ‘holds’, providing a platform that allows Menzies to quickly respond and adapt to specific country customs requirements while simplifying reporting by using CHAMP as a single gateway for more than 65 customs authorities worldwide.

Following the successful launch of the Traxon solution at Menzies’ cargo operation at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the solution is set to be deployed across its global network and integrated into MACH by the end of 2024.
