Menzies Aviation is expanding its cargo handling operations in Iraq to Mosul International Airport (OSM) through its MASIL joint venture with Iraqi Airways, Air BP and Al-Burhan Group.
MASIL will provide a range of aviation services at OSM under a new 10-year license, including ground, air cargo and fuelling services.
The move builds on MASIL’s existing operation at Baghdad International Airport (BGW), which was launched in 2021.
The move comes as OSM has undergone extensive reconstruction following its recapture from militants in 2020. It is now equipped with a main terminal, VIP lounge, and advanced radar surveillance system.
The airport is expected to be fully operational within the coming months, supporting both domestic and international flights.
Charles Wyley, executive vice president Middle East, Africa and Asia, Menzies Aviation, said: “We’re proud to expand our presence in Iraq with new operations at Mosul International Airport through our MASIL joint venture.
”This is a major step in our journey to support the redevelopment of Iraq’s aviation sector and bring world-class standards to the country’s airports.”
Menzies Aviation and Iraqi Airways formed MASIL in 2021 to provide ground handling, cargo, and fuelling services.
