Swissport has officially started operations at its new Auckland Cargo Centre. The new facility offers 8,500sq m of handling space, including weather-protected receipt and dispatch areas. It is the first cargo terminal in Auckland with direct access to the airfield.
Swissport has invested in advanced equipment and digital systems including the airport’s largest X-ray machine and the latest cargo screening technology. An array of 46 CCTV cameras keeps the area under continuous surveillance.
The site is licenced as a Customs Controlled Area and authorised under New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries as a Transitional Facility. It also includes large-scale cold storage areas, with capacity for both palletised and ULD shipments of perishable goods including pharmaceuticals, seafood, fresh produce and meat.
