After more than 20 years of providing aviation services in the Caribbean, we are excited to be entering Jamaica with the acquisition of a majority stake in AJAS Limited. Rebranding as Menzies AJAS, the current management team will remain and we will continue to provide ramp, passenger, and cargo services at Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston (KIN) and Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay (MBJ), while also looking for growth opportunities. AJAS Limited has operated in Jamaica for over 82 years and employs almost 600 people.

John Redmond, EVP Americas said: “We have provided ground services in the Caribbean for over 20 years, and we are excited to be expanding our footprint to Jamaica at a time when its aviation industry is experiencing a post Covid-19 pandemic recovery. The Menzies AJAS combination brings together local knowledge, relationships and expertise, which will strengthen our position in this market. We look forward to working with the AJAS team to grow the business under the Menzies brand.”

Howard Mitchell, Chairman, AJAS, said: “Partnering with Menzies will add tremendous value to our business, which has gone from strength to strength over the past 82 years. AJAS has always been recognised as a good employer in Jamaica, and we are proud of our strong relationships with our hard working and long-standing employees. We have a shared vision with Menzies and are aligned on the value of our employees and how we look after them, which in turn maximizes the service they provide as well as the return to our stakeholders.”
