Swissport International expands its network of air cargo handling facilities in Spain. The latest investment into a new air cargo center at Zaragoza Airport, in the north-east of Spain, sees the company grow its cargo business to five airports in Spain.
Swissport International, the world’s leading provider of airport ground services and air cargo handling, is growing its cargo business in Spain, adding a new warehouse at Zaragoza Airport (ZAZ). Swissport’s cargo network now covers five Spanish airports (including Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Valencia and Zaragoza). The new cargo terminal, which opened its doors in October 2023, offers Swissport an attractive growth platform at one of Spain’s most vital cargo airports. On more than 4,000 square meters, Swissport provides cargo handling services for general cargo as well as express cargo. The facility has 14 truck docks for a fast pick-up or delivery of air freight.
“The expansion of our Spanish cargo network is a direct response to the growing demand for air cargo handling capacity”, says Franck Serano, Cargo Director of Swissport Spain. “We are proud to support the success of the airport and to contribute to its future growth and that of the airlines operating at this important cargo hub.”
