Menzies Aviation extends 15-year partnership with Icelandair in the UK

May 19, 2022

Menzies Aviation, the global aviation logistics specialist, has renewed its contract with longstanding customer Icelandair to provide a full suite of ground services across four UK airports.

The three-year agreement will see Menzies provide passenger, ramp, cabin cleaning and de-icing services at Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Glasgow (GLA) and Manchester (MAN) airports.

This renewal further strengthens Menzies’ position as a key partner for Icelandair in the UK. They began working together at LHR in late-2006 and expanded to MAN and GLA in 2009 with LGW following in 2016, in line with Icelandair’s expansion in the UK and growing trust in Menzies.

Miguel Gomez, executive vice president – Europe, Menzies Aviation said: “We are proud of the strong relationship we have cultivated with Icelandair in the UK, and that we have been chosen by the airline yet again to provide ground services at four UK airports. Our teams have gained a deep understanding of their operations over the past 15 years and look forward to continuing our support of Icelandair over the years to come.”
