Year in numbers
The acquisition of G2 Secure Staff was a significant milestone, doubling our presence to 108 United States airports to become the largest independent aviation services provider in the country.
We secured new ground handling licenses at Miami International Airport and New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy Airport. We also became the first international ground handler to secure an operator certificate in Argentina.
Combined, these achievements expand our service capability, unlock operational synergies and demonstrate how we are building a resilient and scalable business prepared to support airlines across the Americas and around the globe.
We advanced our environmental commitments with the same determination driving our global growth strategy. Achieving 25% electric Ground Support Equipment (GSE) –supported by more than $200 million invested in fleet modernisation, marking a key milestone towards our goal of net-zero by 2045.
More than 50% of GSE in Europe is electric, while OSEA has reached 30%, proving how quickly progress is possible with clear ambition and strong leadership.
We will continue prioritising electric GSE, refurbishing existing GSE and utilising low emission fuel options to meet our sustainability goals and support future-ready airport operations.
We are proud to partner with UK for UNHCR as our first global charity partner, using our global reach, people and resources to support UNHCR’s vital work and make a real difference in people’s lives.
Funds raised through corporate donations and employee fundraising will support UNHCR’s lifesaving work –from emergency response to long-term programmes that provide protection, education, healthcare and livelihoods for displaced families.
The partnership builds on our growing relationship with UNHCR. Since 2023, we have advanced refugee hiring initiatives, offering meaningful employment to more than 100 refugees through collaboration with UNHCR and other NGOs.
Airlines today want partners they can rely on – operating in more airports and delivering a broader range of services.
In 2025, we strengthened relationships with our customers, supporting them in more locations and across more of their operations than ever before. Nearly 500 customers rely on Menzies across multiple airports, with more than 500 partnering with us for multiple services, including ground handling, fuel and air cargo.
Many partnerships span more than 30 years, demonstrating the value of our capabilities, consistent standards and the trust customers place in our teams to grow alongside their needs.
2025 was a defining year for Menzies Aviation as we reinforced our position as the world’s largest aviation services company. We strengthened our leadership in safety, reliability and scale, expanded significantly in the United States, and broadened our global network across both established and growth markets.

Our acquisition of G2 Secure Staff made us the largest aviation services company in the United States, expanding our network to 347 airports in 65 countries and strengthening our operations to serve more airlines, in more locations with an unmatched service portfolio.
This scale delivered strong performance, with revenue surpassing $3 billion, up 16%, and EBITDA of $406m, at a 13.4% margin. Increased ground handling and fuel volumes and strategic acquisitions supported our fifth consecutive year of double-digit growth. Amid rapid change, we remain anchored in the Menzies ethos –prioritising safety, security and quality.

Our emissions
In 2025, we delivered solid progress against our decarbonisation goals while supporting significant business growth.
Scope 1 emissions saw a reduction, despite a substantial increase in operational activity. This reflects our continued efforts and progress with the electrification of our ground support equipment, increase in the use of lower emission fuels such as HVO, and repowering of internal combustion baggage tractors to electric.
Scope 2 emissions reduced by 30%, driven by a significant increase in renewable electricity use reported across our network.
By embracing new and emerging technologies and innovations, such as DHL Go Green, hydrogen powered GSE charging, energy efficient data centres, and smart buildings, we aim to drive meaningful change now and into the future.
Circularity remains a cornerstone of our environmental strategy. In 2025, we are extending the life of ground support equipment through refurbishment programs, implementing circular solutions and recycling for materials such as uniforms and packaging, and responsibly recycling or repurposing electrical assets like laptops.
