Controlled Segment Performance

Aviation Services – Menzies Aviation

In Q3 2025, Menzies Aviation completed the acquisition of G2 Secure Staff in the United States, significantly expanding its U.S. operations and reinforcing its position as the world’s largest aviation services company.

The G2 transaction had an enterprise value consideration of $305m plus a deferred contingent consideration of $10m payable in 2026 and is subject to achieving certain agreed upon metrics.

Menzies reported $800.2 million in revenue for the quarter; a 13.6% increase compared with Q3 2024.

While Menzies recently announced that its operations in Kuwait will conclude upon the expiry of the current contract in January 2026, the company remains confident in achieving its medium-term growth targets.
