Menzies Aviation has announced a new joint venture (JV) with Sociedade Gestora de Aeroportos (SGA-SA) to deliver cargo services at Luanda International Airport (Quatro de Fevereiro) (LAD) in Angola.
As part of the JV, the newly formed Menzies Angola will handle more than 30,000 tonnes of cargo each year, serving a broad range of customers including Taag-Angola Airlines, Air France, TAP Air Portugal and Ethiopian Airlines.
The JV will also manage the VIP lounge at LAD, which serves more than 45,000 passengers each year.
Charles Wyley, executive vice president Middle East, Africa and Asia, said: “We are thrilled to announce our joint venture with SGA, and look forward to providing safe, secure and reliable services to our airline customers in the region.
“Angola’s aviation industry is growing with a bright future ahead, which is why now is the opportune time to forge a strategic partnership with SGA.
“We look forward to working with SGA to provide services at Luanda International Airport, and support its transition to the new, under construction, Angola International Airport.”
Reporting to the Angolan Ministry of Transport, SGA Angola manages 18 airports including LAD.
Last month, Menzies Aviation began the roll out of its new cargo management system (MACH).
