Menzies Aviation expansion at Aberdeen Airport and further growth in Scotland!

e-Bulletin from Terry Brown – General Manager Ireland

I am delighted to announce that on 1st September we successfully completed the takeover of the Aero Handling business at Aberdeen Airport (ABZ).

On 1st September, Kenny Nicol, Station Manager ABZ and his team commenced handling the Aero Handling portfolio of customers at Aberdeen.  These customers include Loganair (‘Scotlands’ Airline’), British Midland Regional and Atlantic Airlines. This takeover has resulted in 50 new colleagues joining the Menzies team and increased the volume of aircraft turns handled by Menzies at ABZ by an additional 18 flights per day.

Having only established our ground handling business in Aberdeen in August 2012 (through the purchase of Airbase Flight Support), we have now doubled the size of this station in just over a year. Please join me in congratulating Kenny Nicol and his team on this exciting development.

Menzies has also won the Loganair contract at Edinburgh for 5 years which adds an additional 10 flights per day from 27th October 2013 and have further been successful in renewing our contract with them at Glasgow for a 5 year term.

These three stations fall under the remit of our VP Operations North, John Henderson, and demonstrate a confidence in John and the Menzies team in Scotland to deliver a high quality service over a sustained period.
