Not just Menzies. The business model for the airport, companies at the airport and its airlines is tender out everything that can possibly be tendered. The minimum service level requirements are published and in come the bids. The companies that can cut the most from the wage bill will get the contract as the biggest expense is the workforce.

Some work is kept in-house like security but the airport screwed the staff in 2019 due to greed and now they are also struggling to recruit as many left. Remember this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...herts-48527273.

The good old days at the airport are long gone. I would see the same faces for years as it was all a good laugh with plenty of banter. Now people start new jobs and last a week or two or a couple of months if we are lucky.

The employers at Luton have done many no favours by expecting people to work like slaves for little or no reward.
