Swissport has begun cargo handling at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, taking over a new 144,000 m² facility that adds one of China’s biggest airfreight hubs to its network.
The launch follows an agreement signed last year with Smarex, a joint venture of Shanghai Airport Authority Logistics Development Company and China Eastern Airlines Logistics, to operate the cargo building.
Four automated loop lines are designed for high-speed sorting, while 15,000 m² of cold-chain space is dedicated to pharmaceuticals and perishable goods.
PVG becomes part of Swissport’s network of more than 300 airports, a move the company’s CEO called a defining step in expanding its global cargo footprint.
