Three new countries have been added to our portfolio following the acquisition of Interexpresso, an aviation service provider operating in Central America.

Interexpresso’s operations are based in San Jose, Costa Rica, with additional operations in Guatemala and El Salvador.

It's core business relates to cargo handling and aviation security services, primarily consisting of cargo document handling, cargo security screening and aircraft access control.

Menzies’ initial focus will be on developing and growing Interexpresso’s core cargo and security offerings across the region with the potential to expand into additional air cargo handling and ground handling services.

Philipp Joeinig, Chairman & CEO, Menzies Aviation, said: “I am pleased to announce our expansion in the Central American region. We have found a knowledgeable partner in Interexpresso and, working together, we will be able to open doors in new, attractive, higher margin and emerging markets in the region.”
