Menzies will deliver ground handling services to the Scottish regional airline’s fleet up until July 2022, which will see the Menzies’ team of aviation professionals handle 6 flights a day, adding to a total of 1,728 flights per annum.

The contract win has also been able to offer employment to some new colleagues at Manchester where it already provides ground handling, cabin presentation and de-icing services to a number of other airlines.
 
Giles Wilson, Chief Executive Officer said: “It is a testament to the great work of Menzies employees in Manchester that Loganair have awarded us this three year ground handling contract.
