The new 53,000 square-foot building handles the airline's daily flights to its New York JFK and Miami hubs. Growing cargo volumes from Milan have increased customer demand for direct services out of Italy to the US. Some of the most frequently shipped goods from Milan include automotive parts, textiles and pharmaceuticals.
On its opening day, customers joined American’s Regional Cargo Sales Manager, Richard Hartmann, and his team for a tour of the new building.
“It's a real testament to the strength of our brand in Italy that customers from as far away as Venice, Rome and Florence took time out of their busy schedules to come and see what additional space and opportunities the new warehouse can offer them," said Hartmann.
Customers were given a complete tour of the facility, operated by WFS, to showcase new ground support equipment, a full range of temperature-controlled spaces and racking to store pallets and containers.
