Menzies Aviation’s Namibian team has built on an established relationship to secure a full handling contract with TAAG - Linhas Aéreas de Angola in Windhoek (WDH). Operations for the airline commenced on Aug. 15 with a daily flight from Windhoek to Luanda.

TAAG has been a loyal customer with Menzies South Africa since 2008, using full handling services in both Johannesburg and Cape Town - a shared history which stood Menzies' Namibian team in great stead.

Ian van Rooyen, VP South Africa and Namibia, said: “This is a great win for Wayne Leach and his team at Windhoek. We look forward to growing the wonderful relationship we have with TAAG in the Southern Africa region.”

Russell Doane, SVP AMEI, said: “I am delighted for our team in Windhoek, who continue to grow their market share at the airport and have encouraged yet another airline to move away from the competition, based on the high level of service we provide to all our customers. Congratulations.”
