Following the official opening of Swissport Israel on June 15th, Mr. Amnon Avraham, Managing Director, Swissport Israel Ltd. announced that Swissport Cargo Terminal opened up a new era in the Israeli cargo ground handling sector.
 
Avraham noted that with the opening of the market in air cargo terminals at Ben Gurion Airport to competition, three major airlines had already announced their full commitment to the new cargo terminal.
 
He noted that the two weeks delay in opening the terminal was due to unforeseen problems in the terminal's IT structure which have since been overcome.
