Menzies Aviation has secured a new ground handling license to deliver passenger and ramp services at Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM), the main international and domestic airport in Peru.

With a strong focus on sustainability and innovation, Menzies ‘Electric First’ approach to Ground Support Equipment (GSE) aligns with the airport’s efforts to drive sustainable practices within the aviation industry. It was recently awarded the Green Airport Recognition Award during the Airport Council’s International-Latin America-Caribbean (ACI-LAC) Annual Assembly and is demonstrating its commitment to its environmental obligations, having sourced electricity from 100% renewable sources in 2022.

Philipp Joeinig, Group CEO, Menzies Aviation said: “Over the past decade, we have demonstrated our commitment to strategic growth in the region, with Jorge Chavez International Airport in Peru becoming our 134th airport in 14 countries in the Americas. Today’s announcement is credit to a truly collaborative effort between our teams in the Americas, Europe and on the ground in Lima. We look forward to returning to Peru after 17 years to build a trusted partnership with Lima Airport Partners (LAP) and working with many of our airline partners who currently operate at the airport.”
