Menzies Aviation Malaysia – a joint venture (JV) with Malaysian supply chain management company, MMAG Holdings – will begin delivering ground handling services at the airport from January under the 12-month license.
Private aviation company MJets will be Menzies Aviation’s first customer at the airport, with services set to begin in January 2025, serving more than 30 flights per week.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport, operated by Malaysia Airports (MAHB) is the largest and busiest airport in Malaysia and is recognised as a “mega hub.” In 2023, it managed 47.2 million passengers, 980,040 tonnes of cargo and 819,026 aircraft movements, ranking as the 35th-busiest airport by total passenger traffic.
This marks the first time that Menzies Aviation has operated in Malaysia, representing a significant increase in the company’s footprint across South East Asia.
Philipp Joeinig, Group CEO, Menzies Aviation, said: “We’re very excited to begin operations at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Menzies Aviation Malaysia will quickly become a key part of operations at the airport. This underscores Menzies’ determination to increase our presence across South East Asia.”
