Cathay Cargo has announced the renewal of its regional partnership with Menzies Aviation to continue covering the former’s Australian and New Zealand ports.
The five-year contract will see Menzies Aviation continue as Cathay’s ground-handling agent (GHA) in the South West Pacific region, building upon the port partnership that has been ongoing since 2014.
The new deal covers terminal operations and freighter flights across Cathay Cargo’s operations in Australia and New Zealand, even including Cathay Pacific’s seasonal passenger service to Cairns.
“We are pleased to enter into a new contract with Menzies Aviation in the South West Pacific region for a further five years,” Cathay Cargo director Tom Owen says.
“In the past, we have worked successfully with Menzies Aviation for our cargo handling and so we appreciate the close collaboration as we now move our relationship forward to the next stage.
“The extension to our partnership will see us working more closely together across the region in the strategic areas of digitalisation, operational safety management, sustainability and training. Our common goal is to enhance the service and satisfaction levels for Cathay Cargo customers.”
The work will see systems integration occur between the two companies, with the pair exploring the chance of Menzies becoming a pioneer partner for the IATA ONE Record roll-out.
“Cathay Cargo has been a valued partner to Menzies for more than two decades, and we are honoured to take the next step in this shared journey, building on opportunities for mutual success,” Menzies Aviation global head of cargo and SVP cargo OSEA Beau Plaine says.
“This announcement not only strengthens our ties with Cathay Cargo but reaffirms our status as a leading provider of air cargo services in Australia and New Zealand. We look forward to delivering first-class cargo and freighter ramp services with the Cathay team across these airports for years to come.”
