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.
This was confirmed by Dan Kamati, the NAC's spokesperson to nbc News.
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.
The High Court emphasised that the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) was entitled to enforce previous judgements ordering Menzies Aviation to vacate the airport.
This means Paragon Aviation Services will continue to provide ground handling services after taking over such duties when Menzies Aviation was evicted by NAC some two weeks ago.
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.
The Supreme Court ordered Menzies to vacate the Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA) after it approached the court, appealing against the decision of the Namibia Airports Company to grant the airport tender to Paragon.
