UK / KUWAIT, July 29: Menzies Aviation, the leading service partner to the world's airports and airlines, has finalised its strategic partnership with Airport Service Budapest Zrt. (AS Budapest), Following the approval of the Hungarian Competition Authority, creating new opportunities to support more customers and partners. Under the agreement, AS Budapest will transfer its ground handling and cargo operations to Menzies Aviation, acquiring a minority stake in Menzies Aviation Hungary Kft. and Menzies Aviation Cargo Hungary Kft. The Hungarian ground handling company will now operate under the Menzies' global brand, which includes operations at more than 300 airports in 65 countries. AS Budapest's employees will transfer to Menzies Aviation Hungary Kft., ensuring continuity of service and the integration of local expertise into Menzies' Budapest operation. The well-established SkyCourt Lounge – the airport's largest premium lounge – also becomes part of the integrated offering under the Menzies Aviation brand. Together, the companies will handle more than 2,500 flights and over 12,000 tons of cargo per month at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (BUD), supported by a dedicated team of over 1,000 employees.

By combining the local knowledge and operational strengths of both AS Budapest and Menzies, we're uniquely positioned to meet rising demand and deliver first-class services to airlines, passengers and airport partners. 2024 broke all previous records in the airport's history, signalling robust growth ahead. With 20 million passengers expected by 2030, we're excited to support Budapest Airport on this growth journey as it reinforces its role as a leading regional hub.' This partnership reflects Menzies and AS Budapest's shared commitment to operational excellence, improved service delivery, enhanced sustainability and a seamless travel experience at one of Central Europe's key aviation hubs.

Opel hands severe GSE shock to most powerful Mokka ever made

First ever performance, Mokka will get from 0-100 km/h in under six seconds. First performance Mokka makes sole use of an electric powertrain. Image: Opel Its GSE moniker, revived two years ago to denote Grand Sport Electric instead of Grand Sport Einspritzung, which signified fuel injection in German, Opel has added its performance moniker to the Mokka for the first time. Based on the updated Mokka unveiled in Europe last year, the Mokka GSE becomes the Blitz's second performance EV following the debut of the Astra GSe three years ago. New inside and out Stylistically, the GSE's changes from the Mokka GS Line it is based on include model-specific 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in EV-optimised Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres, GSE front and rear bumpers, GSE door sills, yellow GSE brake calipers and GSE decals at the base of the front doors in yellow and black. ALSO READ: Opel unpacks facelift Mokka with series of simplified revisions Inside, the GSE's unique fittings comprise sport seats trimmed in Alcantara with GSE logos embroidered into the front seat backs, GSE-specific readouts and dials within the pair of 10-inch displays, Alcantara on the doors, alloy pedals and a white line plus yellow stitching on the seats. Underneath Underneath, Opel has sharpened up the GSE's steering and fitted a Torsen limited-slip front differential, as well as new double hydraulic shock absorbers. Unique to the GSE are the 20-inch alloy wheels and GSE-branded yellow brake calipers. Image: Opel On the power front, the Mokka GSE retains the familiar 54-kWh battery pack, but with power from the electric motor dramatically increased from 115kW/260Nm to 206kW/345Nm. The result is the fastest production Mokka ever made with a top speed of 200 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. Seats have been finished in Alcantara with GSE badge, white stripes and yellow stitching. Image: Opel As with the Astra, the Mokka GSE offers three driving modes: Eco, Normal and Sport. No details about range or charging times were disclosed. Not for us On sale before the end of the year in Europe and in the United Kingdom by sister brand Vauxhall, the Mokka GSE is not expected to debut in South Africa anytime soon. Instead, buyers will continue to make do with the conventional 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine as part of the refreshed range introduced earlier this week.
