Panalpina Egypt relocates operations to Cairo Cargo City
THE new Cairo Cargo City at Cairo International airport has become the new home of Panalpina Egypt's Cairo operations and country head office.
'Being in the heart of action and close to the government's business related entities, such as the import and export authorities and the cargo terminals, will enable the team to serve our local and international customers better," said country sales and marketing manager Fouad AbouElela.
'Likewise, this will benefit our customers as the proximity to the cargo handling and customs clearance will make our day to day air freight operations more agile," he said, reported London's Air Cargo News.
Cairo International airport is the busiest in Egypt, handling 290,000 tons of cargo annually, and serves as the main hub for several airlines.
Covering an area of 150,000 square metres, Cairo Cargo City's export, import and express terminals can accommodate more cargo traffic than the current capacity of Cairo Airport.
The export terminal includes a general cargo zone and a perishable centre with a total capacity of 240,000 tons per annum, while the 12,837 square metres import terminal has a general cargo zone and perishable centre than can handle a total of 90,000 tons/annum.
