GROUND handler dnata plans to boost its cargo handling capacity by over 50 per cent at Zurich Airport (ZRH) through its investment in a new warehouse.
Having signed a lease with the airport authority, the company is planning to operate its new 9,500-square metre advanced warehouse as its sole occupant.
Construction of the facility has already begun and is scheduled to be completed by 2027.
The 'Rachtenwisen' warehouse will provide 20 docking ramps for trucks and separate areas for the handling of imports and exports, as well as hazardous goods. It will also include temperature-controlled areas for sensitive products such as pharmaceuticals and other perishables, reports London's Air Cargo News.
In line with dnata's group target of reducing its global carbon emissions and waste to landfill by 50 per cent by 2030, the airport also plans to install solar PV panels to the roof of the landside building.
Wily Ruf, managing director, dnata Switzerland, said: 'We are delighted to have secured this new facility in partnership with Zurich Airport. Our cargo business continues to grow, and this warehouse will ensure that we go beyond the demands of our customers, providing them with our best-in-class ground and cargo handling services.'
