Menzies further expands Australian cargo business
Menzies Aviation has grown its geographic footprint in Australia by opening a new cargo facility in Melbourne Avalon airport (AVV). On top of that, the Malaysian carrier AirAsia X switched its twice-daily Kuala Lumpur flight from Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) to AVV.
AirAsia X, the inaugural international airline to transport cargo to AVV, expects to carry around 10,000 t via the new location in 2019. To facilitate the cargo handling model, Menzies trucking services link Melbourne's two airports, offering transport solutions to the airline and the local freight forwarders.
Clayton Williams, GM cargo for the area: "The new location enables us to expand our trucking solutions in Victoria and they haves been received very positively by the local freight forwarder community." (ah)
