Menzies Aviation has selected CHAMP Cargosystems to provide a standard platform to deliver customs filing processes.

Aiding the efficient processing of import, export and transit controls, CHAMP’s Traxon Global Customs (TGC) solution will be embedded and integrated into Menzies Aviation’s MACH cargo management system.

The solution reduces the risk of customs ‘holds’, providing a platform that allows Menzies Aviation to quickly respond and adapt to specific country customs requirements, while simplifying reporting requirements by using CHAMP as a single gateway for more than 65 customs authorities worldwide.

Following the successful launch of the Traxon solution at Menzies Aviation’s cargo operation at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the solution is set to be deployed across its global network and integrated into MACH by the end of 2024.

Rory Fidler, senior vice president of cargo technology at Menzies Aviation, said: “This upgrade will further streamline our cargo operations, providing customers with seamless and efficient customs and security processes.

“We are grateful to the team at CHAMP, who are working hard to support an ambitious roll-out programme over the coming months.”

Dirk Thorwirth, head of sales – global distribution services at CHAMP, said: “It’s our pleasure to support Menzies Aviation’s global operations and cargo handling system, and we are glad they’ve found streamlined solutions in Traxon Global Customs. It is a fantastic tool that easily integrates into third-party platforms and drives efficiency through open and interconnected operations.

“By ensuring compliance with the constantly evolving regulatory landscape, Menzies Aviation is well positioned for growth in the years to come.”
