Handling Talk
Menzies Aviation has expanded its joint venture with Iraqi Airways (MASIL) to offer passenger services at Baghdad International Airport.

MASIL has assumed operational control of passenger service activities in the Nineveh Terminal at Iraq’s largest airport as part of its commitment to the joint venture partnership.

It is already delivering a suite of ground handling services to customers including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Royal Jordanian, Egypt Air, flydubai and Middle East Airlines.

Charles Wyley, Executive Vice President, Middle East, Africa and Asia, Menzies Aviation said: "One of the key aims for MASIL is to support the development of Iraqi nationals to assume key positions within the business going forward and we’re pleased to see our advanced training programmes are already underway.

"This partnership comes at an exciting and important juncture in Iraq’s aviation history as the country looks to upgrade key infrastructure and services at Baghdad International Airport to enable growth and return to being a key regional and international hub for aviation."
