New temp-controlled warehouse opens at Leipzig-Halle Airport

THE World Cargo Centre at Leipzig/Halle Airport, a hub for AeroLogic, a freighter joint venture between DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo, has commenced operations at a new refrigerated warehouse that is operated by PortGround - a subsidiary of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen.

The facility, certified under the EU's Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standard, at the German hub has direct access to the apron area, offering short transport routes to and from aircraft and trucks. Goods can be stored at temperatures ranging from 2C to 25C, reports, Varna's Wings Journal.



"The configuration of the reefer centre enables parallel storage of pharmaceutical items and perishable goods, as well as temperature-sensitive products, which may not be stored or transported in frosty or hot conditions. They include measuring devices or means of production for the semi-conductor industry," airport authorities said in a statement.



Leipzig/Halle Airport processed one million tonnes in 2016 and handled 84,782 tonnes of cargo in January this year, up 6.9 per cent year on year.
