Menzies Aviation has acquired Spirit Cargo Handling - previously owned by SAS Ground Handling Norway - in a deal which the company said will expand its cargo business.
“By adding a new cargo station to the Menzies global network, we’re building momentum in key markets and reinforcing our commitment to supporting cargo growth across the region,” said Miguel Gomez Sjunnesson, executive vice president Europe, Menzies Aviation. “These targeted investments are a clear signal of our ambition and confidence in the sector’s long-term potential.”
This acquisition is expected to boost Menzies’ cargo handling capacity by 150,000 tonnes every year. As part of the deal, Menzies will also resume responsibility for the Spirit cargo warehouse at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, employee contracts and existing freighter operations at the airport.
Once the deal completes, Spirit cargo operations will be rebranded as Menzies Aviation.
