Even if Trump loses it will take years to restore relations with Iran. America broke their word and the Iranians don't trust them. So, unless sanctions are removed from Iran v quickly next year following a Biden victory, I can't see Iran happening for at least 2/3 years so a no o from me.
The key issue is quarantine. You can't pop back and forth to potential MSC customers for face to face negotiations. Until this eases one way or another, I think it will be difficult to sign off on any new airport MSC. There are also a lack of people flying so it makes WSG's business proposition , based on numbers flying, un economic at the moment unless they come up with some higher costs per passenger until the numbers grow.
I see the first major contracts coming out of Saudi Arabia. We have an office there, a JV partner and a government in a hurry to privatise vast swathes of their economy. There are multiple opportunities there.
In the mean time, they are trading profitably , have adapted to the times very swiftly. Just got to try and be patient.
Intrigued with their relationship with Menzies and the use of sanitisation products and fever detection at airports. I suspect this will be formalised and RNSd as a JV of some sort with some business lined up before too long.
