Dallas Fort Worth Airport to Open New Cold Chain Facility

February 9, 2017
Air Cargo World

With 14,000 square feet of refrigerated storage space, the new transfer facility will give DFW the ability to control warehousing temperatures for shipments of pharmaceuticals, flowers and fresh foods.

"There are tremendous growth opportunities for domestic and international cargo customers to ship perishables through DFW to 180 markets," said John Ackerman, executive vice president of global strategy and development at DFW.

DFW handles about two-thirds of Texas' air cargo, which was on the rise in 2016, increasing by more than 8 percent over 2015's total, Ackerman said. In the first month of 2017, tonnage has already risen by 18 percent compared to the previous January. "This new facility will increase our handling capabilities and open new doors for all our cargo and logistics partners to ship high-value, temperature- and time-sensitive products through DFW," he added.

DFW handles more than 794,600 tons of airfreight per annum, according to the airport's latest figures. Fourteen dedicated freighters serve 22 major cargo hubs throughout Asia, Europe, and North America from DFW, as well as 200 belly-hold destinations aboard 26 passenger carriers.
