Menzies Aviation will begin providing cargo handling services at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) as it expands into Malaysia for the first time.
The company has secured a 12-month ground handling license to deliver passenger, ramp and cargo services at KUL through the creation of a joint venture (JV) with Malaysian supply chain management company, MMAG Holdings.
The new contract will get underway in January. Private aviation company MJets will be Menzies Aviation’s first customer at the airport, with more than 30 flights per week.
KUL is operated by Malaysia Airports (MAHB) and is the busiest airport in Malaysia, with cargo volumes reaching 980,040 tonnes last year.
“This marks the first time that Menzies Aviation has operated in Malaysia, representing a significant increase in the company’s footprint across Southeast Asia,” the company said.
Philipp Joeinig, Group chief executive, Menzies Aviation, said: “We’re very excited to begin operations at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, a key hub serving Malaysia’s capital.
“Menzies Aviation Malaysia will quickly become a key part of operations at the airport, serving more than 30 flights a week by early 2025. This underscores Menzies’ determination to increase our presence across Southeast Asia while delivering aviation services that meet the very highest quality and safety standards.”
