Air Menzies International (AMI), the leading air freight wholesaler, is pleased to announce the opening of its new branch at Frankfurt Airport (FRA), as it pursues its growth strategy across Europe.
The branch marks AMI’s 24th location, adding to an extensive global network which includes 250 network partners. The opening further reinforces AMI’s ability to ensure the reliable movement of freight between AMI locations, with oversight of shipments from beginning to end.
It is a key expansion for the freight wholesaler, strengthening its presence in central Europe, especially as Frankfurt Airport is Europe’s busiest airport for cargo traffic, handling over 1.8 million tonnes of cargo in 2020. The airport has flights to over 300 destinations in 94 countries, enabling AMI to work even more effectively with its worldwide network partners.

The addition of Frankfurt to our network means we now have 24 branches globally, with more planned to be added in 2022 and beyond.”
