This renewed contract represents the company’s largest contract at AMS.
The renewal was announced at an official signing ceremony on July 18 at Menzies’ cargo facility at AMS, where Menzies’ Miguel Gomez, executive vice president Europe and Dave Beekman, senior vice president Benelux were joined by KLM Cargo’s Koen Bolster, vice president worldwide operations and Paul van der Wardt, general manager Martinair Cargo to celebrate the partnership.
