Menzies Aviation integrates AMI business to create a unified global cargo platform

MENZIES Aviation, the leading service partner to the world’s airports and airlines, has announced the integration of Air Menzies International (AMI), its specialist freight forwarding subsidiary, into its Cargo division.

The integration brings AMI formally within the Menzies Aviation Cargo division under the leadership of Beau Paine, EVP Cargo and Menzies’ regional divisions. AMI will continue to operate under its own brand, retaining its specialist identity and customer relationships while gaining access to the broader Menzies Aviation operational infrastructure, geographic reach and group capabilities.

Menzies Aviation operates in 347 airports in 65 countries. The addition of AMI’s wholesale air freight expertise within Menzies’ Cargo creates a comprehensive and competitive offering for airline partners and customers, combining ground handling, cargo management, freight forwarding and e-commerce capabilities under one strategic platform. The AMI brand will be retained.

The integration follows a strategic review by the Menzies Aviation Executive Management Board. As part of the review, Carlos Font, EVP AMI, is leaving the business. Carlos joined AMI in 2023 with more than 20 years’ experience in the freight forwarding industry. He has made great strides in developing AMI’s innovation and digital solutions, alongside growing the network into major trade lanes to become a truly global partner. AMI’s regional leadership remain in place and will continue to lead operations across their respective geographies, said a release.
