Menzies Aviation has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Air Serbia to support the national flag carrier’s ambitious growth plans.
The partnership will see Menzies deliver passenger and ramp services at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) from February 2024, with local teams managing more than 22,000 turns in the first year.
The MoU is part of Air Serbia’s plans to expand its network, with a new service between Belgrade and Porto beginning in November.
Philipp Joeinig, CEO, Menzies Aviation, said, “We are extremely excited by the opportunity to work with Air Serbia, helping the airline achieve further domestic and international growth. Strategically, as the number one service provider in the world, and number one provider in the region, this venture represents a major step for Menzies, supporting our ambitions to expand our presence in the Balkans and support emerging aviation markets. We are looking forward to delivering market leading, high quality aviation services in the Balkans with the fast-growing Air Serbia and increasing our market share at Belgrade Airport.”
Jiri Marek, CEO, Air Serbia, added, “We are extremely pleased about the upcoming cooperation with such a renowned aviation services provider as Menzies Aviation. During this year’s summer season, Air Serbia recorded unprecedented growth, but at the same time faced certain challenges in the field of ground handling. I want to apologize once again to all passengers affected by the situation at our hub this summer. Even during the season, we reacted quickly to that situation by hiring additional personnel in record time. Now we are taking the next step because in 2024 we want to provide the best possible service for our passengers and a reliable partner for the further growth of the company.”
