Effective March 5, 2024, the aviation services provider will provide ramp handling and baggage, de-icing and passenger services. It will also provide PRM and air cargo services.
The contract will see Belgrade Airport, part of the VINCI Airports portfolio, transfer all ground handling service contracts to Menzies Aviation, subject to partner airlines consent.
All Belgrade Airport employees in ground handling activity will be offered employment agreements, with Menzies Aviation as their new employer.
In 2023, Menzies Aviation announced it had signed an agreement with Air Serbia for passenger and ramp services beginning in February 2024. The agreement, Menzies’ biggest deal in Eastern Europe to date, will see local teams manage more than 22,000 turns in the first year at the largest and busiest airport in Serbia.
Belgrade Airport and Menzies Aviation remain committed to working closely together and with Air Serbia and other airlines to ensure the smooth delivery of high-quality ground handling and passenger services to their passengers.
