Oman Air (WY, Muscat) has selected Menzies Aviation, a division of Scottish firm John Menzies, as its partner in establishing a nationwide ground-handling presence.
Having signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) this week, the parties will now undertake a period of due diligence and focus on completing all regulatory requirements.
The new joint-venture is expected to come online during the last quarter of the year and will operate at nine airports across Oman, including Oman Air's key Muscat hub.
The venture will employ some 2,500 staff and handle over 50,000 aircraft turnarounds per annum.
