Mar 24, 2015 (newstodate): While little news is provided by Menzies Aviation, the handling company is readying to launch handling business at Copenhagen Airport from April 1, 2015.
The decision to return to Copenhagen Airport after an earlier brief and unsuccessful experience ending in 2008, the company is setting up a new company at the airport to handling of the LCC Norwegian.
No manager at Copenhagen Airport has yet been announced, but the operation will be under the aegis of Menzies Aviation in Sweden, headed by Miguel Gomez as country manager since March 2011.
Menzies Aviation will initially allocate a task force comprising experienced staff from other European stations to secure the opening of services, and this will remain in place until a fully trained local staff, currently being recruited, can take over.
Menzies plans to employ some 180 staff for the operations at Copenhagen Airport, including 150 people taken over from Aviator that has so far been handling Norwegian at the airport.
Besides Copenhagen Airport, Menzies is also to handle Norwegian at the carrier's main base at Oslo as well as continuing to provide ground handling for Norwegian at Sweden's Gothenburg Airport.
Today, Norwegian is offering long-haul flights from Copenhagen to Bangkok, New York, Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles, adding flights from Copenhagen to Orlando from next week as well.
The carrier is also to announce the opening of a further three yet-unpublished intercontinental flights from Copenhagen from the next winter schedule.
The carrier is also offering an increasing number of flights from Copenhagen to Nordic and European destinations.
