Menzies has won a five-year ground handling contract with Wizz Air, Europe’s fastest growing airline, at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport.

As part of the agreement, a 200-person Menzies team will deliver passenger, ramp and cleaning services for the low-cost carrier at their Budapest base. This contract broadens Menzies’ existing relationship with Wizz Air - we already provide handling services to the airline at London Gatwick, as well as in Prague, Cluj, Timișoara, Iasi and Sibiu.

Miguel Gomez, EVP,  said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Wizz Air, one of Europe’s leading airlines, at what is a strategically important base for the airline. This award is a result of the strong relationship established with Wizz by the Menzies teams across Europe and represents an opportunity for us to expand our footprint as a major player in the Eastern European market. We are looking forward to further solidifying our relationship with Wizz by breathing fresh ideas into the local operation and delivering the excellent standard of service which Menzies is known for.”
