Menzies Aviation has secured a new ground handling licence to deliver passenger, ramp and cargo services at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL).
Menzies Aviation Malaysia – a joint venture with Malaysian supply chain management company, MMAG Holdings – will begin delivering ground handling services at the airport from January 2025 under the 12-month licence.
Private aviation company MJets will be Menzies Aviation’s first customer at the airport, serving more than 30 flights per week.
KUL, operated by Malaysia Airports (MAHB), is the largest and busiest airport in Malaysia and is recognised as a ‘mega hub’. In 2023, it managed 47.2 million passengers, 980,040 tonnes of cargo and 819,026 aircraft movements.
This marks the first time that Menzies Aviation has operated in Malaysia, representing a significant increase in the company’s footprint across South East Asia.
Philipp Joeinig, group chief executive at Menzies Aviation, said: “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 South East Asia while delivering aviation services that meet the very highest quality and safety standards.”
