AIRPORT
10 JUNE 2019, EDINBURGH: John Menzies plc, the global aviation
services business, is delighted to confirm that easyJet has awarded
the Group a new long term ground handling contract at their home
base in London Luton Airport. The contract will see Menzies handle

This award is recognition of Menzies' renewed and innovative
approach to the relationship with easyJet. Breathing new life into
the UK business and service offering, Menzies is focussing on
strong management disciplines and the needs of customers.
This award would not have been possible without the excellent
service from the team in London Luton Airport, and Menzies is
looking forward to delivering on these new commitments as the

Karen Cox, Director of Ground Operations & Customer
Management Centres, of easyJet said:
"We are delighted to be extending our long standing relationship
with Menzies Aviation at London Luton. Menzies have refreshed their
approach to working with easyJet and recognised the need for a
culture of continuous improvement. I am confident they will deliver
the customer experience we desire for all our passengers passing
through this key base."
Giles Wilson, Chief Executive of John Menzies plc said:
"We have had a relationship with easyJet at London Luton for
over 15 years and I am delighted that this is to continue at
easyJet's home base. I would like to thank our staff for their
commitment to date and the enthusiasm I know they will show as we
look forward to delivering great service over the life of this
contract.
This contract is one of the largest single ground handling
contracts in the UK and I am delighted to have secured it. This
together with other recent contract gains demonstrates that our
renewed focus on our UK business is starting to pay dividends and I
look forward to more progress throughout 2019."
