Apr 02, 2014 (newstodate): The new cargo handling facility near Finland's Helsinki Vantaa Airport, ASR Cargo Center is now fully operational and busy marketing its offerings in the Finnish market.
-We are already contracted by a few major Finnish forwarders as well as serving ad-hoc off-line customers, but in addition we are currently in talks with all airlines operating here offering our services and marketing our capabilities and rates, says Pasi Nopanen, ASR Cargo Center managing director.
-With 3,350 sq m equipped with six loading docks, cool room, X-ray equipment, our handling facility has its focus on handling of trucked air cargo that anyway constitutes some 70 percent, or some 30,000 tonnes per year. At a later stage we may well include also handling of export airfreight based on our full and comprehensive security cartification with regulated agent status.
-This will, however, require a cooperation with a partner to provide airside cargo handling at the airport and this will thus still remain a future goal.
-Summing up, we have come off to a good start and I expect to be able to break news of our first major airline customers in the near future, says Mr Nopanen.
