Dallas, Texas-based Menzies Aviation, an aviation services business that provides aircraft ground handling services, has announced it will no longer provide cargo handling services to Avianca Airlines, located at Miami International Airport, effective September 16, 2024.
The cessation of cargo handling services will impact 409 employees, including 287 cargo handlers, 49 cargo agents, 30 supervisors, 20 warehouse assistants, and other managerial positions.
It appears that Avianca's five-year cargo contract with Menzies Aviation has expired.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall; why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
