Schiphol Real Estate last week started construction of Cargo Building 9 at CargoWorld, Schiphol Southeast. The new building is needed to accommodate the anticipated growth of air cargo transport at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Menzies Aviation and Skylink, two large air cargo ground handlers, will lease 75% of the new building. The remaining space in the building is available to third parties.
The new cargo transit warehouse, covering 24,600m2 of warehouse space and 3,900m2 of office space, is located alongside the apron of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol's main runways, runway 06-24. The building was designed by Dutch architects Groosman and Partners and is scheduled to be completed in early 2007. The new building represents an expansion of the operations of Menzies Aviation at Schiphol Southeast where the company also leases Cargo Building 8 as well as one of the business units. Menzies Aviation handles around 430,000 tonnes of air cargo at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on an annual basis. Skylink is currently situated at Schiphol South and handles some 71,000 tonnes of air cargo annually. Source: Press Release
