Hassan El-Houry, Chief Executive Officer of Menzies Aviation, has been recognised in Aviation Business Middle East’s A-Listers Power List 2026.

The recognition follows a period of significant growth for Menzies Aviation, with the company surpassing $3 billion in annual revenue for the first time in 2025 and expanding its network to 347 airports across 65 countries.

Over the past year, Menzies has continued to strengthen its global platform while maintaining a clear focus on safety, operational excellence and sustainable growth. This included the integration of G2 Secure Staff following its $305 million acquisition, doubling Menzies’ U.S. footprint and establishing the company as the largest aviation services provider in the world’s largest aviation market.

In 2025, Menzies supported 5.3 million flights and handled 2.4 million tonnes of cargo worldwide, with its workforce growing to 65,000 employees.

Hassan El-Houry, Chief Executive Officer, Menzies Aviation, said: “Aviation is, and always will be, a people business. Every day, thousands of colleagues work behind the scenes to keep passengers, baggage and cargo moving safely and reliably around the world. At Menzies Aviation, that now means more than 65,000 colleagues across 347 airports in 65 countries. While our scale continues to grow, our priorities remain unchanged: putting safety first, delivering operational excellence and staying close to our customers.”

Alongside his role at Menzies, Hassan serves as Chairman of the Aviation Services Association (ASA World), representing aviation services providers globally and advocating for greater industry collaboration, stronger safety standards and the long-term development of the sector.
