Menzies Aviation has been awarded a new contract by Singapore Airlines (SIA) to provide cargo, ramp and passenger handling services at Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI).
The agreement will see Menzies support SIA’s daily passenger services and ad hoc freighter operations when the airline launches flights from the airport on 23 November 2026.
The contract represents a significant step in Menzies’ expansion at WSI, where the company has invested in a 12,500sqm cargo facility with an annual handling capacity of up to 200,000 tonnes. The warehouse is Menzies’ largest cargo facility across Oceania and Southeast Asia.
The two companies already have an established working relationship, with Menzies providing freighter ramp handling services for SIA in Sydney and Melbourne. Earlier this year, the ground handling provider also secured Singapore Airlines contracts in Brisbane and Cairns.
Darren Masters, Executive Vice President Oceania, Southeast Asia & China at Menzies Aviation, said the appointment marked an important milestone as the company’s first airline customer at Western Sydney International Airport.
He added that the partnership builds on the companies’ existing relationship and demonstrates Menzies’ ability to deliver integrated passenger, ramp and cargo services. Its new airside cargo facility will also support airline growth, strengthen supply chains and contribute to establishing WSI as a major aviation and cargo gateway for Australia.
Foo Chai Woo, Regional Vice President South West Pacific at Singapore Airlines, said the airline was working closely with Menzies ahead of its planned launch at WSI on 23 November.
The collaboration aims to ensure the airline is ready to deliver the passenger, ramp and cargo handling standards expected by its customers from the start of operations.
The agreement further strengthens Menzies’ Australian network, where it currently provides cargo and ground handling services at 15 airports nationwide. Western Sydney will become its 11th cargo operation in Australia, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting the country’s aviation sector, exporters and supply chains.
Situated within the airport’s dedicated cargo precinct, the new facility is designed to handle a wide range of commodities, including pharmaceuticals, perishables, e-commerce shipments and heavy freight.
