Sep 14, 2007 (newstodate): Billund Airport has embarked on a process to identify a potential partner to take over its cargo handling business.
-Our aim is to secure the continued growth and development of Cargo Center Billund that will aggregate about 60,000 tonnes of cargo in 2007, says Jorgen Krab Jorgensen, Billund Airport general manager.
-To secure our continued growth, significant investments beyond our own capability are needed, but we are convinced that an international cargo handling company will see the potentials in a close partnership or cooperation.
The airport management and board have now started a detailed auditing process to define and separate the assets, contracts and obligations of the cargo center from those of the airport, leading to the formation of Cargo Center Billund as a fully-owned subsidiary.
-While this process has only just started, we are already seeking contact to some of the potential partners that may bring also new airline contacts, says Mr Krab Jorgensen who expects the timeframe to be between six months and one year.
