Menzies Aviation has extended its contract with Malaysia Airlines to continue providing passenger, ramp and cargo services at five locations across Australia and New Zealand.

The locations include Sydney Airport (SYD), Melbourne Airport (MEL), Adelaide Airport (ADL), Perth Airport (PER) and Auckland Airport (AKL).

Under the extended agreement, Menzies Aviation teams are expected to handle 3,200 flights across the five locations each year until 2029.

The renewal strengthens the firms’ long-term partnership at these locations, where Menzies Aviation has provided a range of services to the Malaysian national flag carrier since 2016.

Darren Masters, executive vice president – Oceania & South East Asia at Menzies Aviation, said: “The renewal of this agreement is a reflection on the strong strategic partnership that has developed between Menzies and Malaysia Airlines over the course of eight years.

“We’re excited to continue providing safe, reliable and efficient services at these five key locations while exploring opportunities to build on our relationship with the flag carrier of Malaysia.”

Aslina Ahmad Asiri, global head of operations at Malaysia Airlines, said: “Menzies has always been supportive of MAB operations throughout the ANZ region despite the challenges post-Covid-19.

“Menzies has continuously engaged MAB to address these challenges and enforce their utmost commitment to support MAB’s plan to grow the ANZ operations.

“It is comforting to work with a highly professional entity that understand the business needs and ever willing to listen to feedback from their customers.”
