Menzies opens cargo hub in Mozambique

Menzies Aviation, a leading global service partner to airports and airlines, has officially opened a new cargo facility at Maputo International Airport (MPM) in Mozambique

This state-of-the-art facility enhances MPM’s freight capacity, marking a significant milestone in Menzies’ expansion across East Africa. With this development, the company’s regional customer base is expected to grow in the coming months and years.

Equipped with advanced technology and high-end facilities, the cargo warehouse enables Menzies to provide airlines, including initial clients Airlink and Qatar Airways, with efficient, high-quality, and safe cargo services. 

Menzies Aviation has been operating at Maputo International Airport since 2018, initially under the National Aviation Services brand until 2022. In 2019, the company expanded its services by introducing two exclusive lounges in the airport's international and domestic terminals, along with providing Meet and Assist and ground handling services at Mozambique’s busiest airport.

“We’re thrilled to cut the ribbon on our new cargo warehouse in Mozambique. This cutting-edge facility will allow 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,” said AlAnood AlSuwaidi, senior vice-president Cargo (MEAA) at Menzies Aviation.
