Menzies Aviation, a service partner to airports and airlines around the world, has announced that it has secured a license to provide ground handling services at Miami International Airport.
With this license, the company is permitted to provide a range of services including ramp handling and baggage, passenger services, ticketing, porter and passenger assistance, and dispatch and communications services.
In order to comply with regulatory requirements and support local economic development, some services will be
subcontracted to certified local development businesses, ensuring a mandatory 20% engagement of minority subcontractors.
Menzies Aviation says that this license not only marks the company’s official expansion into ground handling services at one of the busiest airports in the US for international passenger and cargo traffic, but also its strategic commitment to the US aviation market.
