Jardine Airport Services Limited (JASL), operating under the names Jardine Aviation Services and JASG, was founded in 1988 as a collaborative enterprise between Jardine Matheson (through Jardine Pacific) and Air China Group (via CNAC(G)). Jardines' engagement in the aviation sector of Hong Kong traces back to 1946 with the establishment of Jardine Airways, which subsequently merged with Hong Kong Airways.

At Hong Kong International Airport, JASL delivers a full range of ground handling solutions, overseeing approximately 25% of aircraft operations and handling over 17% of passenger traffic as recorded in 2002.

On January 25, 2024, ownership of Jardine Group's shares was transferred to Menzies Aviation. Upon finalization, the firm will be rebranded as "Menzies Aviation Services" and integrated as a subsidiary within Menzies Aviation.
