The state-of-the-art facility means that Menzies can now handle cargo at MPM, increasing Mozambique’s freight capacity. This represents a significant expansion in Menzies’ footprint across East Africa, with the company’s regional customer portfolio set to increase over the coming months and years.
With high-end facilities and cutting-edge technology, the new cargo warehouse enables Menzies to offer high quality, efficient and safe services to airlines, including launch customers Airlink and Qatar Airways.
The warehouse was officially opened at a ribbon cutting ceremony, where Menzies’ senior vice president cargo (MEAA), AlAnood AlSuwaidi, was joined by representatives from Aeroportos de Moçambique, the Civil Aviation Institute, Customs of Mozambique and airline partners.
Menzies Aviation has worked at Maputo International Airport since 2018, operating as National Aviation Services until 2022. It launched two lounges in the airport’s international and domestic terminals and later expanded its portfolio to deliver comprehensive Meet and Assist and ground handling services at the busiest airport in Mozambique in 2019.
Menzies Aviation’s AlSuwaidi said: “We’re thrilled to cut the ribbon on our new cargo warehouse in Mozambique. This cutting-edge facility will enable us to provide best-in-class services to our airline customers while supporting East Africa’s air cargo sector. This represents the next exciting step in Menzies’ cargo expansion strategy, which has seen us expand our footprint right across the globe.”
