We have secured new business with Virgin Australia to provide ground services at Darwin, Cairns and Queenstown as well as air cargo services at Darwin from mid-October.

These wins are in addition to existing business retained at Sydney, Melbourne, Kargoorlie, Perth, Brisbane, Cairns and Gold Coast airports and are testament to the excellent service levels provided in the region.

Overall, the contracts will see Menzies handle circa 8,000 flights and circa 6,500 tonnes of cargo per annum at a total of ten locations for Virgin Australia.

Alistair Reid, Executive Vice President Oceania & South East Asia, Menzies Aviation said: “These new contracts represent a significant expansion of Menzies’ operations in the Australian market and build on the recent wins with Qantas and Jetstar. It was a competitive tender process and everyone involved in securing the contracts, including people delivering excellent service to customers, should be proud.”
