Menzies Aviation, a service partner to airports and airlines worldwide, has announced the acquisition of Spirit Cargo Handling from SAS Ground Handling Norway.<\/p>\n

The move is Menzies\u2019 first to air cargo and warehousing operations in Norway.<\/p>\n

Menzies said that the deal will increase its cargo handling capacity by 150,000t annually.<\/p>\n

The operations will focus on high-demand products such as salmon, alongside general cargo and freighter services.<\/p>\n

Menzies Aviation Cargo executive vice president Beau Paine said: \u201cOur expansion into the Norwegian air cargo market demonstrates our continued focus on delivering consistent, high-quality service to our partner airlines, while enhancing the overall logistics supply chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we grow our global cargo network, we remain committed to being the cargo provider of choice through operational excellence, reliability, and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, Menzies will take over the responsibility from Spirit cargo warehouse at Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL), along with employee contracts and existing freighter operations at the facility.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of the deal, Spirit Cargo operations will be rebranded as Menzies Aviation.<\/p>\n

Menzies explained its teams have been working for a smooth transition that adheres to the global safety standards and to ensure delivery of secure and quality cargo handling from the outset.<\/p>\n

Menzies Aviation Europe executive vice president Miguel Gomez Sjunnesson said: \u201cThis acquisition marks an exciting step forward in our strategic expansion as we strengthen our air cargo footprint across Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy adding a new cargo station to the Menzies global network, we\u2019re building momentum in key markets and reinforcing our commitment to supporting cargo growth across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April this year, Menzies Aviation agreed to acquire G2<\/a>, a US-based airline service partner, for $305m.<\/p>\n

Once the transaction is finalised, Menzies will operate at more than 340 airports in 65 countries, backed by a workforce of 65,000 employees.<\/p>\n
