AMI expands perishables handling facility at Cape Town airport
AMI, a trade-only air freight and express wholesaler, has acquired the facility adjacent to its current base at Cape Town International Airport, doubling its warehousing area to 1,000 square metres.
The facility includes 120 square metres of refrigerated storage, with separate temperature zones for flowers, seafood, fruit and vegetables, enabling the handling of fresh produce maintaining freshness while awaiting flights.
"The expanded AMI Cape Town facility and our increased perishables capability will help us to keep pace with the significant growth in traffic from this region," said AMI vice president Milton French.
The company's South African business operates through branches in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. Durban has shown dramatic growth of 118 per cent over the past four months.
It said that in the first eight months of the year, it held a 6.9 per cent share of the total South African air freight market, and ranked third in the country's air freight agents' league table.
