Under two hours for a 90 t load
Glasgow Prestwick airport has invested GBP 2.17 million in new cargo equipment, cold storage solutions, and an X-ray machine, as part of the ongoing development of its freight services. The UK hub, which has no flight restrictions, has taken delivery of its second new high loader, supporting turnaround times of under two hours for a 90 t load.
“We have one of the fastest turnaround times for air cargo in the UK, no slot requirements, and no restrictions,” said Nico Le Roux, business development director, Glasgow Prestwick airport.
Prestwick’s new equipment includes two high loaders with 20 and 35 t capacity respectively, a heavy duty pushback tractor capable of handling any aircraft type, twelve new dollies, and a new Rapiscan X-ray machine with 7.5 mm steel penetration. The Scottish hub has also invested in new cold storage facilities with a controlled range of -30° to +25°. (cj)
