The acquisition of Spirit Cargo Handling, previously owned by SAS Ground Handling Norway, boosts Menzies’ cargo handling capacity by 150,000 tonnes per annum.
It will focus on handling high-demand products like salmon as well as general cargo and freighter services.
Menzies will take responsibility for the Spirit cargo warehouse at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, employee contracts and existing freighter operations.
Once the deal is complete, Spirit’s cargo operations will be rebranded under Menzies Aviation.
Miguel Gomez Sjunnesson, Executive Vice President Europe of Menzies Aviation said: “By adding a new cargo station to the Menzies global network, we’re building momentum in key markets and reinforcing our commitment to supporting cargo growth across the region.”
Beau Paine, Executive Vice President Cargo at Menzies Aviation added: “As we grow our global cargo network, we remain committed to being the cargo provider of choice through operational excellence, reliability and innovation.”
