Swissport doubles capacity at Manchester airport
The aviation supply chain firm has opened a cargo facility at Manchester Airport, doubling annual handling capacity to 110,000 tons.
THE FACILITY – Box 4 – integrates advanced cargo handling systems designed for the seamless transfer of Unit Load Devices (ULDs), improving operational speed, reducing manual handling, and increasing efficiency.
The site includes a dedicated Pharma Centre with cold rooms and temperature-controlled environments.
The building has achieved an ‘A’ Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, with intelligent energy-saving lighting and building systems throughout.
Infrastructure has also been installed to enable a full transition to electric-powered ground service equipment.
