According to  the Frankfurt-based cargo handler’s CEO, Wolfgang Korte: “We expect to handle some 10,500 tons per annum (at Munich), outgoing a lot of car parts and components, incoming mainly skins and leather products.”

It is expected that some transit cargo from Switzerland and Austria will also be handled at Munich for SAA Cargo.

Korte added: “In the current economic environment it is good to know that the scope, reliability and quality of our services and the experience of our personnel are appreciated.”
