Menzies Aviation now at Philadelphia airport
The City of Philadelphia (airport or PHL) division of aviation, and Aviation Facilities Company (Afco) will be partnering with Menzies Aviation, as a new cargo ground handler at the airport, along with Kale Logistics Solutions, as the technology solution provider for the airport’s cargo community system.
The companies will be key players in the PHL cargo expansion strategy, announced last year in support of increasing regional demand for air cargo and logistics in and around the airport.
The new facilities and technology that will be introduced through this partnership will not only improve cargo throughput, but also serve PHL’s passenger airlines.
PHL, Afco, and Menzies are evaluating near-term options for their operations prior to completion of a building that will be newly dedicated to air cargo. (cj)
