Menzies Aviation announced a new into-plane fueling and fuel farm operations launch at Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ) this week, bringing its UK fuels network total to 11 airports. It officially began delivering full, end-to-end fuel services at what it classes as one of the UK’s key energy hubs, on 01JUL26. The speed of execution is impressive as Menzies only needed 75 days to build a new team from the ground up, train them, roll out operational systems, and complete a smooth transition of fuel services. Menzies now oversees everything from fuel storage and distribution infrastructure to into-plane fueling, offering airlines at ABZ a safe, reliable, and efficient fueling partner. The latest development is a further addition to Menzies’ fuel portfolio and aids in strengthening long-term relationships with airports and fuel suppliers.
With operations spanning three continents, Menzies handles the full fueling journey – from receipt and storage through to aircraft delivery – helping airlines stay operationally reliable while keeping airports and suppliers compliant. It is already the world’s largest independent aviation fuel services provider, and while Aberdeen marks the latest milestone, the company continues to steadily expand its global fuels portfolio.
Marco di Mario, Executive Vice President Fuels, Menzies Aviation, commented: “Bringing a fuel operation of this scale into service in just 75 days is a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to the expertise, dedication and collaboration of everyone involved. Mobilizations are among the most complex activities in our industry, requiring the right people, processes and safety culture to be in place from day one. Aberdeen is an important airport within the UK aviation network and a key gateway for the energy sector. We look forward to working closely with the airport, airlines and fuel partners to deliver safe, dependable fuel services while continuing to invest in the long-term growth of our fuels business.”
Daniel Anderson, Airside Operations Manager, Aberdeen International Airport announced: “The safe and efficient management of fuel operations is essential to supporting the airlines and passengers who rely on Aberdeen International Airport every day. We welcome Menzies Aviation to this important role and look forward to working together to ensure a seamless transition and the continued delivery of reliable fuel services across the airport.”
