👋🏻Say hello to Asselina Morais, General Manager of Menzies Aviation Mozambique.

Inspired by her mother’s lifelong career in aviation, Asselina’s passion for aviation started as a child, watching aircraft land and take off while dreaming that someday she would join the industry. 💙

After roles with Vulkan Air, Qatar Airways and National Aviation Services (NAS) Asselina was promoted to Deputy GM following the NAS and Menzies merger before being promoted to General Manager in November 2024. ✈️

In her new role, she has strengthened relationships with airlines and stakeholders, and credits Menzies’ internal training programmes including Living Leadership and Thrive, Women in Leadership for shaping her career path and future aspirations.

Her proudest achievement? Growing from Lounge Operations Manager to General Manager overseeing all ground handling, cargo and lounge operations, especially as a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Asselina’s advice, “Sometimes we need to learn to unlearn something, in order to learn something new and grow.”

Excellent advice from an inspirational member of our MEAA team. Thank you, Asselina for setting a great example of what inclusive, empowered leadership looks like. ✨
