The Zurich-based global provider has been operating passenger ground handling and ramp services at Narita for several years, and the addition of a cargo handling capability completes its portfolio at this key airport, allowing it to offer a full range of ground-handling services to airlines.
The handling warehouse in Narita South has ramp access and is capable of handling all kinds of products, including bonded cargo, valuables, temperature-sensitive and dangerous goods, with ample space for growth in both its office and handling areas. It becomes fully operational on 12th November.
Rudolf Steiner, SVP Cargo Middle East & Asia at Swissport International, said: 'We are honored and proud to be able to start up cargo services at Narita Airport and finally offer a one-stop-shop for an airline.'
Neil Ferdinando, Vice President Operations at Virgin Atlantic Cargo, said: 'We are continuously looking for innovative solutions with our handlers, and we are convinced that we have made a good decision in appointing Swissport to handle our cargo at Narita.'
