Last week, the MASIL team at Baghdad International launched a new cargo operation – with the goal of creating a world-class cargo terminal at the airport, which is the largest in Iraq.

The new cargo operation is part of a full service offer for our airline customers and will run alongside our existing ground handling and fuelling operations. It is underpinned by a robust programme of training for MASIL employees, developed and delivered by Menzies, and new technologies that will streamline the cargo handling processes.

Charles Wyley, EVP Middle East, Asia and Africa, said; “I’m delighted that our cargo operations have now gone live at Baghdad International Airport, following a lot of hard work and dedication from the MASIL team.”

We expect to handle cargo flights at Baghdad for customers including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, DHL, MNG Airlines, Silkway Airlines, Royal Jordanian, Egypt Air, flyDubai and Middle East Airlines.
