A British-owned ground handling service provider at the Hosea Kutako International Airport, Menzies Aviation, has finally complied with a request from the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) to hand over cargo in its possession to the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRa) to release it to the owners.

The Windhoek High Court has ruled that Menzies Aviation has no legal obligation to provide ground handling services at the Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA) and no right to insist on offering these services there. 

High Court Judge Shafimana Ueitele has delayed and suspended the execution of the Supreme Court order for Menzies Aviation to vacate the Hosea Kutako International Airport.

Menzies had the tender for ground handling services at the airport, which has since been awarded to Paragon.
