Sharjah Airport sets cargo-handling record

SHARJAH International Airport on Tuesday said it notched up a record recently handling a Lufthansa B747-200F carrying 77 tones of cargo from the US in an hour, demonstrating the airport’s ability to take care of big cargo efficiently.

Among the shipment was a 25-tonne bottle and spare parts producing plant for Al Tajir Glass Industries.

The entire shipment was offloaded and was ready for delivery within 34 minutes of the flight’s arrival.

“Sharjah Airport has comprehensively proved that by availing of its ground

handling facilities, agents and distributors can save substantially in terms of time and money,” Sharjah Airport Authority Freight Center Director Ali Kombargi.

He said the airport’s strategy is to work closely with its customers as partners to ensure best options to clients to help them grow their business.

“At Sharjah we make things happen and this is because of speed, flexibility and co-operation which has resulted in happy customers,” said Lufthansa Cargo Regional Manager John Koopman.
