The facility will house a 5,250m2 cargo terminal for FedEx Express Estonia, which will be completed in July 2025.
The new terminal will consist of 1,450m2 of office space and 3,800m2 of warehouse space. There will also be loading bays for 57 vehicles, and 123 parking spaces for employees of and visitors to the facility.
“Airport City is designed to create a functional and well-functioning business environment and modern infrastructure for companies linked to aviation, thereby supporting the development of the industry,” said Airport City CEO Teet Raudsep. “I’m delighted to welcome FedEx Express as our first tenant of the cargo terminals. We’re creating a modern working environment for them that will guarantee a fast and professional freight transport service for their customers.
“I’d like to thank the construction company involved, too: Maru Ehitus. They’ve been the perfect partners since we signed the contract, and I’m sure that will be the case all the way through to the completion of the facility.”
The FedEx Express Estonia cargo terminal was designed by Norte OÜ, with engineering by Enn Rajasaar and Priit Ehala.
Riivo Tuvike, the chairman of the management board of Tallinn Airport, says the airport’s mission is to connect Estonia to the world. “In the current economic climate, ways of boosting revenue beyond passenger transport are becoming more and more important,” he noted. “By increasing the airport’s revenue, we create opportunities to invest in the development of infrastructure, new technological solutions and passenger comfort. Most airports in Europe are no longer focusing on passenger transport alone to increase their revenue base. An increasing share of turnover is coming from the sale of goods and services to passengers, as well as to other partners around the airport. The proximity of the runway and the availability of related services represents great added value for transport and logistics companies, aircraft maintenance and service providers, hotels, warehousing services and industrial companies.”
Airport City is Tallinn Airport’s business park and gateway to international business. It covers all of the commercial space offered by the airport and the new developments in areas close to the runway.
