Swissport, Tanzania’s leading airline ground handling service company has reportedly attained IATA certification for safe ground operations (ISAGO) for their two main international airport stations- Julius Nyerere International Airport and Kilimanjaro International Airport.
Swissport’s new cargo terminal at JNIA in Dar es Salaam is due to open soon and will be equipped with state of the art cargo handling, storing and tracking equipment, substantially speeding up clearances.
The terminal, with the capacity of handling 80,000 tonnes, is the first of its kind in Africa that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for easing cargo identification.
Gaudence Temu, Swissport Tanzania CEO, said, “This is the first facility in Africa that uses stateof-art gadgets. We have invested for the future and almost double the capacity. The terminal has special cargo areas for animal, dangerous goods such as radioactive material- morgue, pharmaceutical and two cold storage facilities of between 20 and 8 degree Celsius and a strong room.”
The building is multipurpose and will have a bank, business facilities, TRA offices, Swissport head office, training centre, a gym and housing other stakeholders – clearing and forwarding agent offices, airline cargo offices.
