Size of the new cargo terminal is approximately 64% compared to the old one, and the distance between the two cargo terminals is 1.7km.
The annual handling capacity of a two sector old cargo terminal is approximately 15,500 tons, and the terminal is divided into two sectors; one sector is used by MATEEN, and the other sector by Starlight and DHL.
- In EIA, there are three cargo agents (Starlight, MATEEN, DHL) and two cargo handling companies (DNATA Aviation and Sky Link Aviation).
- DNATA now operates the cargo terminal. Therefore, if Sky Link Aviation, which deals with the passenger cargo (or belly cargo) of Austrian Airlines, wants to use the old cargo terminal, they would be able to use the space . |
