Menzies Aviation, a global leader in airport and airline services, has completed its $305 million acquisition of G2 Secure Staff, a trusted aviation services partner for major U.S. airlines.

The deal significantly expands Menzies’ global network, giving the company a presence at 350 airports in 65 countries with a workforce of 65,000 people. The acquisition is expected to increase Menzies’ revenue by 20%, pushing it past $3.1 billion based on 2024 figures.

With this move, Menzies becomes the largest independent aviation services provider in the United States, doubling its footprint to more than 110 locations, including major hubs such as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, and Denver International Airport.

G2’s expertise in ground services, passenger assistance, and cabin cleaning complements Menzies’ existing services in cargo, ground handling, and fueling. The combined operations will bring more efficiency, resilience, and instantly deployable capabilities to the U.S. market.

Hassan El-Houry, Executive Chairman of Menzies Aviation, said:
"Acquiring G2 is a strategic step in our global growth and a response to customer demand for more services at more airports. With U.S. passenger numbers expected to surpass one billion by 2040, this deal positions Menzies at the heart of the country’s aviation growth. We are excited to welcome our new G2 colleagues, whose experience will be vital to our shared success."

Philipp Joeinig, Group CEO of Menzies Aviation, added:
"This acquisition is about building high-readiness infrastructure to meet growing airline demand. It will allow us to raise standards across the U.S. and globally while creating jobs and upskilling opportunities for our 20,000-strong U.S. team."

G2’s operations will now be rebranded as Menzies Aviation, with immediate integration of global standards in training, safety, sustainability, and technology to ensure a smooth transition for employees, customers, and partners.
