By GlobalDataAcross the six different contracts, Menzies will be adding at least 91 turns per week to its operations at the UK’s busiest airport, including 35 with SAS Cargo, seven with Royal Air Maroc Cargo, 14 with Middle East Airlines and seven with Tarom.
Though it already claims to be the biggest aviation services company in the world based on the number of countries it operates in and the number of weekly turns, Menzies has still been expanding its presence in the last year.
In Europe, the company has signed contracts across the Balkan region and in Bulgaria, while internationally, it has extended agreements in Kenya and Chile.
