Dépèche transmise le 4 juin 2010 par PRNewswire
HALIFAX, Canada, June 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The official opening today of Gateway Facilities ULC in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada means high value air cargo is delivered on time around the world," says Doug McRae, co-owner of Gateway Facilities ULC. "This facility is a critical component of the Atlantic Gateway as it enhances quality and reliability in the global supply chain."
Gateway Facilities ULC is the new 40,000 sq ft facility prominently located at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport airside subdivision, with 7,000 sq. ft. of temperature controlled cargo space and airside access, accommodating 747 freighters. In this new facility, the largest of its kind north of Miami, cargo is moved from the refrigerated space to the aircraft in less than two minutes.
The $15 million (Canadian) joint investment between Gateway Facilities ULC, and Halifax International Airport Authority, is a recent addition to the airside subdivision and has been operational since January 2010. Customers already in operation at the Gateway Facility ULC are FedEx Express, Worldwide Perishables, and WestJet Cargo.
"The new facility was created in response to Canada's growing high value import and export business and all partners in the supply chain wanting to move goods to and from Canada and the Northeastern United States," says McRae.
Keynote speaker, Joe Hete, President and CEO of ATSG, which has been operating from Gateway Facilities ULC since January 2010 said, "What's key with this type of facility is the opportunity to maintain the quality of high value perishable goods while in transit and to move them quickly from production and manufacturing to global markets."
"This facility is unique on the Eastern Seaboard as it provides international carriers with refrigerated air cargo space adjacent to an apron at Halifax Stanfield International Airport," said Tom Ruth, President and CEO of Halifax International Airport Authority.
Today Gateway Facilities ULC customers, industry leaders, and government representatives celebrated the opening and discussed opportunities for increased international air cargo moving to and from North America.
