Menzies Aviation, the global aviation logistics specialist, announces it has secured its first engineering contract in Australia with long term customer, LATAM Airlines. The agreement will see Menzies provide a full suite of engineering services to LATAM at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) and Auckland International Airport (AKL).

We have built a strong relationship with the airline in Latin America, which has assisted with the growth of the partnership through this extension in Australia and New Zealand.
