Menzies Aviation’s service-driven approach is seeing positive results as the airside services provider has renewed and secured several new key cargo contracts with airlines at London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR).

These include new contracts with Thai Airways Cargo and Royal Air Maroc Cargo, as well renewals with Middle East Airlines, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines Cargo and Tarom.

Among the new contracts, Menzies is set to deliver cargo handling and airside trucking services for Thai Airways. The contract, which includes 14 turns per week, will see local teams oversee the transport of more than 16,000 tonnes of vegetables and fresh fish from Thailand to the UK.

Morocco’s Royal Air Maroc Cargo, meanwhile, has appointed Menzies to manage cargo handling seven turns per week. Royal Jordanian Airlines now has added cargo handling and airside trucking to its agreement with Menzies, which currently includes passenger and ramp handling. The extended contract will include 14 additional turns per week, with more than 6,000 cargo tonnes anticipated each year.

Menzies Aviation has also locked in a further five-year contract with Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines to provide air cargo handling services and airside trucking for more than 14 turns per week, including more than 1,700 tonnes of fresh vegetables from Lebanon.

Building on a decade-long relationship, Menzies will continue providing cargo handling services for Scandinavia’s SAS Cargo, managing more than 35 turns per week. It will also continue serving long-standing cargo customer, Tarom, the flag carrier and currently oldest operating airline of Romania, with seven turns per week.

“It is fantastic to see such positive momentum, with a series of wins and renewals for the cargo team at London Heathrow, helping to expand our cargo footprint in Europ,” said Karl Aldwinckle, Vice President Cargo – Europe. ” We have an ambitious cargo expansion strategy and are proud to have built strong relationships with our customers who recognise our service-driven approach. We’re excited to continue building on these relationships and expand our reach in Europe and beyond.”
