Swissport International is expanding its cargo business in Spain by inaugurating a new warehouse at Zaragoza Airport (ZAZ). Swissport’s cargo network will now cover five Spanish airports: Barcelona, Madrid, Málaga, Valencia, and Zaragoza.
The new cargo terminal commenced operations in October 2023. This warehouse provides the company with a strategic platform at one of Spain’s most significant cargo airports. The facility boasts over 4,000 square meters of space for general and express cargo handling, along with 14 truck bays.
Franck Serano, Director of Cargo for Swissport Spain, notes that «the expansion of our cargo network in the country directly responds to the growing demand for cargo capacity. We are proud to be part of the airport’s success and contribute to its future growth, as well as that of the airlines operating within it.»

Swissport has been present in Zaragoza since 2015, providing services to passengers and ramp services to airlines serving the terminal. This latest investment solidifies Swissport’s position as the leading provider of air cargo handling services in Spain.
