New 1,500sqm airside cargo facility at Adelaide Airport

Air services provider dnata has invested in a new 1,500sqm airside cargo facility at Adelaide Airport.
The facility was developed from an existing cold store facility and has the capacity to handle up to 80 tonnes of cargo per day, providing storage for both import and export products, including refrigerated and ambient temperature product options, and is designed to meet increasing demand for SA exports and imports.
Previously, dnata supported the South Australian cargo market from a 400sqm off-airport facility, that included interstate trucking services.
“Our customers have been calling for an airside facility and we are pleased to be able to meet this need. It has been a significant investment for us and we are committed to growing our business in Adelaide by opening this tailor-made, expansive airside facility,” said Daniela Marsilli, CEO, dnata Australia.dnata Opening Adelaide-1_1
The insulation in the walls of the storage facility is nearly 25cm in width, ensuring the temperature within the general area of the facility remains between 15–25 degrees Celsius, while the freezer rooms are able to hold cargo at as low as minus 18 degrees.
The facility meets Customs, Quarantine and Office of Transport Security regulations, and will see dnata located the closest to the passenger terminal and new freighter apron at Adelaide Airport, enabling quick movement of cargo.
This new facility will be dnata’s fourth largest facility in Australia and will help to increase the company’s national footprint which currently includes cargo facilities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Darwin.
