Opening doors to the next generation
A group of students currently studying logistics and supply chain management at Auburn University in Alabama (USA) were given an exclusive, behind-the-scenes air cargo familiarisation tour at Atlanta Airport (Georgia) on 25 March 2022.
It was a joint initiative planned by Auburn University, JAS Worldwide, Swissport and Qatar Airways Cargo. The students were given a tour of the Swissport warehouse and then taken airside to witness the arrival of Qatar Airways Cargo flight QR8141 from Doha, Qatar, and its subsequent offloading and reloading.
They visited the main deck high loader in operation and learned how the Swissport warehouse operates. A second tour is already planned for this autumn and many more students should be welcomed in the future. (cj)
