Milan Bergamo Airport and UPS have inaugurated new facilities which will nearly double the logistics corporation’s capacity at the Italian gateway.
Located in the new cargo development, the 5,000m² space is equipped with advanced sorting technology, enabling UPS to process up to 3,800 packages per hour, twice as many as before.
Particular attention has been paid to the sustainability of the new premises, which are exclusively powered by renewable energy. Achieving a Class A1 Energy Performance Certificate after an almost zero-energy build, the warehouses and offices have been designed with optimum soundproofing and thermal insulations to guarantee high energy performance while removing the need to use non-renewable sources.
UPS operates three daily flights (Monday to Friday) to Milan Bergamo from its European hub in Cologne and/or onwards to further UPS stations, using widebody B767s.
"Our commitment to Milan Bergamo Airport represents more than an investment in UPS and our capabilities. It is an investment in our customers and their potential for progression and success. This new facility will play a fundamental role in the growth of imports and exports of the company," said Britta Weber, CEO, UPS Italia.
