Menzies Aviation has expanded its partnership with FlySafair with a five-year contract to provide ground handling services from one airport to seven. As a part of the contract, Menzies will provide passenger and ramp services for 40,000-plus turns annually at O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), Cape Town International Airport (CPT), King Shaka International Airport (DUR), King Phalo Airport (ELS), Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ) and George Airport (GRJ). This builds on an existing relationship at Bram Fischer International Airport (BFN).
Charles Wyley, Executive Vice President, Middle East, Africa & Asia, Menzies Aviation, said: “We’re delighted to provide ground services to FlySafair at more airports across South Africa. We began working with the airline at Bloemfontein last year and this latest win is a major milestone for our team as it reflects the high standard and service, they consistently provide to our airline customers. We look forward to building our relationship with FlySafair and supporting them as they continue to grow.”
FlySafair is one of the biggest domestic carrier by passenger numbers in South Africa, with the airline expected to receive extra aircraft in the first half of 2023. This contract will strengthen Menzies position as the largest aviation services company on the African continent and follows the recent five-year renewal of its ground handling license with Airports Company South Africa SOC (ACSA).
