Zurich Airport Brasil, the concessionaire of the Vitória Airport in the southeast of the country, reported that its real estate area dedicated to logistics businesses has been strengthened with the warehouse of Mercado Libre, an Argentine-origin company that has become a leader in e-commerce in Latin America and operates in Brazil under the name Mercado Livre.
The company detailed that the operational area of the new warehouse spans 900 square meters, allowing for an average processing capacity of about 14,000 packages per day. A key advantage is its direct connection to the aircraft platform, making operations more efficient.
«Mercado Libre’s warehouse handles goods from all over the country, underscoring the strategic importance of Vitória’s location for the logistics business,» concluded Zurich Airport Brasil.
Since taking over Vitória Airport in January 2020, one of Zurich Airport Brasil’s key focuses has been developing real estate investments on land adjacent to the operational sector, totaling one million square meters (approximately 15% of the entire airport area). Four areas have been designated for services, entertainment, logistics, and retail.
Meli Air was established in 2020 to streamline Mercado Libre’s logistics operations in two key markets for the company: Brazil and Mexico. In Brazil, they entered into an alliance with GOL for the exclusive use of six Boeing 737-800BCF over a 10-year period, with the possibility of adding another six aircraft.
