Ground handler Swissport International has signed a binding agreement to acquire Swiftair Maroc, subject to regulatory approval.
Swiftair Maroc operates a 3,700sq m airside warehouse at Mohammed V Airport, Morocco’s primary air freight hub in Casablanca including cold rooms for pharmaceutical products and perishable goods.
Morocco’s air cargo market has experienced steady growth, driven by the country’s expanding export base and strategic geographic position.
Swissport’s Maroc arm already provides ground handling services at 16 airports nationwide.
President and chief executive of Swissport International, Warwick Brady, said: “As a pivotal gateway between Europe, Africa and the Americas, Morocco supports strong export industries such as automotive, aerospace, agriculture and textiles, while also facilitating critical imports. At the same time, this agreement strengthens our cargo capabilities in the region and enhances our ability to support customers with efficient, high-quality logistics solutions.”
