Aug 03, 2011 (newstodate): The move by Spirit Air Cargo Handling to
Terminal North at Copenhagen Airport from its current premises in the
airport's eastern area is expected to be take place in autumn 2011.
-We are currently in a good dialogue with Copenhagen Airport to reach
agreement on the eventual airside/landside separation. Once this has been finalized the project will be brought to the Danish authority Trafikstyrelsen for approval of the security issues, says Carsten
Johansson, Spirit Air Cargo Handling managing director.
-It is not a simple return by the cargo terminal to its earlier
location. Security requirements have been strengthened since then, and
the production techniques now implemented at our Terminal East will be
transferred to Terminal North, meaning that while much of the production
is performed manually today the control and managing of the future production will be based on new and more customer- and user friendly systems, compared to the earlier IT structure of Terminal North.
-Spirit Air Cargo Handling was reaching the limits of capacity at
Terminal East, so we are happy to have had this offer from Copenhagen
Airport rather than having to extend our premises in the eastern area one way or the other.
-Volumes are rising, driven by our existing customers as well as our new customers, planning for the future new facilities and potential for expansion were clearly needed.
-We are currently handling cargo both at Terminal East, Hangar 1 as
to air mail, and also at Terminal North where we are now processing part
of the import shipments. Much room is needed to gather these production
streams at one single site - and Terminal North is a favorable location,
immediate adjacent to the airport's passenger aircraft areas, says Mr
Johansson.
