Menzies Aviation has doubled its footprint in the USA by completing the acquisition of G2 Secure Staff.

The $305 million acquisition combines G2’s expertise in ground services including passenger assistance and cabin cleaning to enhance Menzies’ ground, cargo and refuelling services.

Based on FY2024 figures, the acquisition is expected to boost Menzies Group’s revenue by 20% to more than $3.1 billion.

Menzies’ Executive Vice President Americas, John Redmond will continue to lead the region with G2’s senior management joining his team.

Hassan El-Houry, Executive Chairman of Menzies Aviation said: “Acquiring G2 is a strategic long-term investment and significant milestone in our global growth journey. It is also a direct response to customer demand for Menzies to offer a broader range of services at more airports. With US passenger volumes expected to surpass one billion by 2040 and rising airport infrastructure investment, this deal positions Menzies at the centre of the country’s aviation momentum and underscores our confidence in the resilience of the US economy and US consumer.”

The acquisition spreads Menzies’ footprint to over 110 locations including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and Denver International Airport.

Philipp Joeinig, Group CEO of Menzies Aviation said: “This deal isn’t just scale for the sake of scale. It’s high-volume, high-readiness infrastructure that meets growing airline demand for seamless, multi-airport service coverage. It provides an opportunity to raise standards for aviation services across the US and globally through the roll out of our industry-leading training, safety, sustainability and technology across all new operations.”
