Tiger Airways has appointed Menzies Aviation as its ground handling agent for the airline’s operation at Perth, Australia. Menzies Aviation will manage all of Tiger Airways’ ground handling services (passenger and ramp) from 23 March 2007, coinciding with the start of the airline’s services to Perth.

“We are pleased to appoint Menzies Aviation as our ground handlers in Perth. Menzies Aviation has built up an impressive track record within Australia as well as around the globe.

“The addition of Ground Services in Perth to our portfolio nearly completes our dual cargo and ground services product offering at all of Australia’s leading airports” said Alistair Reid, Managing Director for Menzies Aviation in Australia.
