Expanding in London and the UK
Swissport, a specialist for air cargo services and ground handling, has launched a new cargo facility at London Heathrow airport (LHR), marking a significant growth of its business in the cargo sector. It follows a 17% increase in cargo tonnage this year to date.
The new facility includes 1,400 sqm of temperature-controlled space, advanced warehouse management systems and real-time tracking capabilities. Joe Bellfield, COO of cargo, calls it "a cornerstone of our global air cargo expansion strategy".
By strengthening its presence at one of the world’s busiest airports, Swissport is fuelling its ongoing expansion in the rapidly growing air cargo market, with a launch set to be announced at London Gatwick, and expansions planned at East Midlands, Manchester and London Stansted airports. (ah)
