dnata Inaugurates Cargo
Complex at Manchester Airport

Pharma certification for exemplary handling
of time-critical and temperature-sensitive
pharmaceutical goods at Frankfurt Airport
(FRA). In 2018, Fraport received its first certification under IATA's Center of Excellence
for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV) program. In a recent
follow-up audit, Fraport has been recertified
for another three years.
" Securing recertification underscores
the strong performance and reliability of
our processes, equipment and systems
deployed for handling sensitive pharmaceutical products. This CEIV recognition also
encourages our dedicated handling teams
during these challenging times and further
strengthens Frankfurt Airport's position as
Europe's leading pharma hub, " said Siegfried Pasler, Fraport AG's head of ground
services. " During the coronavirus pandemic,
we have clearly demonstrated the vital role
that airfreight plays in supplying the world's
population. Frankfurt Airport also serves as
a key partner in the distribution of vaccines,
by delivering reliable services such as the
seamless transport of vaccines on our airport ramp. "
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this year's certification process was
conducted entirely as a virtual audit. The
IATA auditor reached his decision with the
aid of documents and video clips provided in
advance, followed up by virtual interviews.

dnata opened a new cargo complex, dnata
City North, at Manchester Airport (MAN).
The 150,000 sq. ft. facility allows the
company to significantly expand and consolidate its Manchester operations. The
purpose-built on-airport facility is capable
of processing in excess of 150,000 tons of
cargo annually. It is equipped with the latest
technologies and complies with the highest
industry standards ensuring efficient and
safe handling of all types of cargo, including
pharmaceuticals, perishables, dangerous
goods, aircraft engines and vehicles.
" We are thrilled to announce the opening
of another world-class cargo facility in a
strategic location in the UK. Our new, purpose-built facility in Manchester complements our existing multiple UK operations
including the dnata City complex at London
Heathrow, enabling customers to enhance
their operations in the region, " Alex Doisneau, managing director of dnata UK, said.
" Our continued investment and expansion in
the UK underlines our commitment to our
customers and the local cargo industry at a
critical time, providing operational excellence at key gateways across the country. "
" It's great to see dnata open its superb new
cargo complex here at Manchester Airport, "
Gareth Jackson, MAG group property director, added. " The new facility will further
enhance the role we play in ensuring freight
is seamlessly transported into and out of
the North region markets from all parts
of the world. Not only will the center help
the North's trade credentials, it will boost
employment opportunities for communities
in Greater Manchester too.
" We look forward to working closely with
dnata as it continues to grow from Manchester Airport. "
