Cathay Cargo has renewed its regional partnership with Menzies Aviation as its ground handling agent (GHA) in the South West Pacific region.
Menzies Aviation is the GHA partner not only in all the Australian ports served by Cathay Cargo but also in New Zealand since 2014, says an official release from Cathay Cargo.
“The new deal will run for five years and cover terminal operations and freighter flights across all of Cathay Cargo’s operations in Australia and New Zealand. This will include Cathay Pacific’s seasonal passenger service to Cairns, which recommences three days a week from mid-December for three months.”
Tom Owen, Director Cargo, Cathay Cargo says: “We are pleased to enter into a new contract with Menzies Aviation in the South West Pacific region for a further five years. In the past, we have worked successfully with Menzies Aviation for our cargo handling, and so we appreciate the close collaboration as we now move our relationship forward to the next stage. The extension to our partnership will see us working more closely together across the region in the strategic areas of digitalisation, operational safety management, sustainability and training. Our common goal is to enhance the service and satisfaction levels for Cathay Cargo customers.”
Beau Paine, Global Head of Cargo, Menzies Aviation adds: “Cathay Cargo has been a valued partner to Menzies for more than two decades, and we are honoured to take the next step in this shared journey, building on opportunities for mutual success. Today’s announcement not only strengthens our ties with Cathay Cargo but reaffirms our status as a leading provider of air cargo services in Australia and New Zealand. We look forward to delivering first-class cargo and freighter ramp services with the Cathay team across these airports for years to come.”
In addition to the South West Pacific region, Menzies Aviation also provides cargo services for Cathay Cargo in some ports in the Americas and Europe, the release added.
