Menzies Aviation set to acquire Spirit Cargo Handling

Menzies Aviation is all set to acquire Spirit Cargo Handling, an airfreight handler owned by SAS Ground Handling Norway. The acquisition represents the company’s first air cargo operation and warehouse in Norway and will boost Menzies’ overall cargo handling capacity by 150,000 tonnes a year. Much of the cargo handled by Spirit consists of high-demand products like salmon, as well as general cargo, and the work includes handling freighter services. As part of the deal, Menzies will resume responsibility for the Spirit cargo warehouse at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, and for handling existing freighter operations at the airport. Once the deal is completed, Spirit cargo operations will be rebranded as Menzies Aviation.
