London marks the opening of Menzies Aviation’s new global headquarters

Global aviation logistics specialist Menzies Aviation has opened a new global headquarters in central London.

Menzies Aviation chairman Hassan El-Houry, Menzies Aviation chief executive Philipp Joeinig, and His Majesty’s Ambassador to the State of Kuwait, Belinda Lewis, gave the new office in Bloomsbury Square in London their official openings.

Joeinig stated, “The launch of Menzies’ new global headquarters in London signals our intent and global reach as the world’s largest aviation services company. We are extremely proud to be a British business with a rich-Scottish heritage, and our London headquarters will be home to many of our senior executives and corporate teams who will use it as a base to connect with customers and colleagues.”

El-Houry said: “It’s fitting that our global headquarters has returned to the city where John Menzies was first inspired to launch his successful business nearly 190 years ago. Over the centuries, Menzies has remained relevant by constantly evolving and staying one step ahead of competitors.

“We will continue this legacy as we enter a new chapter of accelerated growth to become the undisputed number one in our industry.”

Lewis continued, “It’s wonderful to celebrate the opening of Menzies’ new headquarters in central London. The combination of Menzies Aviation and National Aviation Services brought together many decades of British and Kuwaiti business acumen, reflecting the strong, historic relationship between the UK and Kuwait.

“The UK’s aviation industry is a vital part of our economy and it’s great to host the global headquarters of the world’s largest aviation services company.”

The 5,784 square feet headquarters, which is spread out over two Georgian townhouses, was designed by Thirdway with both in-person and virtual connectivity in mind.

Menzies will continue to have a location in Edinburgh, where the business was established in 1833.

When Menzies merged with National Aviation Services earlier this year, it became the world’s largest aviation services company by the number of countries served and the second largest by the number of airports served. Menzies operates in more than 250 airports in 58 nations.
