Adding a third airport to its French fuelling operations, Menzies Aviation has secured a contract to provide 24 hour fuel farm management and ITP operations on behalf of World Fuel Services at Paris Le-Bourget airport. Menzies Aviation Fuelling France already has significant fuelling operations at Bordeaux–Mérignac and Nice Côte d'Azur airports, handling more than 17.4m litres of fuel and over 7,500 flights a year.
The aviation services provider has also seen growth in its North American fuelling operations. Copa Airlines, the flag carrier of Panama, has extended its into-plane fuelling contract at six airports across the US, including Miami, Los Angeles, Orlando, New Orleans, Chicago and Tampa, and awarded an additional contract at McCarran International airport in Nevada. The renewed contracts mean that Menzies Aviation will supply Copa Airlines with over 16m gallons of fuel, powering 5,000 flights over 12 months.
