20 September 2024, London: Menzies Aviation, the leading service partner to the world’s airports and airlines, has announced the extension of a long-running contract with leading cargo carrier, Cathay Cargo.

Under the renewed five-year contract, Menzies will continue to provide cargo and freighter ramp services for the carrier in the south-west Pacific region, managing 85,000 tonnes each year. This builds on a two-decade long partnership with the world’s leading combination cargo carrier, which began in Melbourne and expanded to Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland over 10 years ago.

The new contract will see teams support Cathay cargo operations at not only all the Australian locations served by the carrier, but New Zealand as well.

Beau Paine, Global Head of Cargo, Menzies Aviation said: “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.”

“We are pleased to enter into a new contract with Menzies Aviation in the South-West Pacific region for a further five years,” said Cathay Director Cargo Tom Owen. “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.”
