Menzies Aviation has secured seven-year ground handling licences at Portugal’s three largest airports, Lisbon, Porto and Faro, following the completion of the National Civil Aviation Authority’s (ANAC) tender process.

ANAC confirmed that SPdH – Serviços Portugueses de Handling, SA, has met the applicable legal and regulatory requirements and demonstrated the technical capacity to provide ground handling services to third parties at the three airports.

The licences cover baggage handling at Lisbon, Porto and Faro airports. Cargo and mail handling is authorised at Lisbon and Porto, while ground handling operations are permitted at all three airports.

Menzies said the seven-year licences would provide long-term certainty for its customers, employees and airport partners, while supporting further investment and growth across its Portuguese operations.
