Menzies Aviation has announced the renewal of a major cargo and ground handling contract with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS). The agreement extends Menzies' provision of cargo warehouse and ramp handling services for all KLM/Martinair freighter operations at AMS for the next five years.
