A Scottish airport ground operator has hailed a major deal with an airline.
The company will provide ground handling services across ten locations around Europe under the five-year contract.
Menzies Aviation, a service partner to airports and airlines, has renewed its long-standing partnership with Ryanair for the provision of ground handling services at the locations.
Under the renewed contract, which is set to run until October 2029, Menzies will continue to provide ground handling services, expanding its remit to include Iași International Airport (IAS), one of the oldest airports in Romania.
