Vitoria Airport plays a key role in the transport of perishable goods in
Spain and the rest of Europe.
Besides all the other advantages offered by this airport, the existence of a magnificent
perishable goods terminal,
(the second largest of its type in Europe), perfect coordination with the
border inspection post (PIF), and
customs service, and the most modern
facilities for handling live animals,
have sparked the spectacular growth of Vitoria Airport in the air cargo market segment.
Fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, flowers and live animals are shipped in several times
a week from several origins including South Africa, United States, Canada, Chile, Brazil,
Argentina and Mexico.
The competitive advantages of this airport
and a team of specialists in the handling of perishables (extremely delicate goods that
require a high level of precision in their handling) enable goods to be offloaded onto
trucks in 2 hours and to be delivered to major central European destinations within 12 hours.
This handling time, unprecedented in this sector, mean that perishables are in optimum
condition for consumption when they arrive at the supermarket and therefore have greater
added value, enabling efficient and profitable operations.
This high quality of service has led to large operators like
British Airways World Cargo,
MK Airlines,
Cargolux, Lanchile and
Air Canada,
using Vitoria Airport as an intercontinental point of entry for perishables for Spain and Europe. |
