Air cargo terminal
The cargo terminal is not a large warehouse located next to the airport. It is located on the boundary between the flight area and the ground area, runs according to the flight schedule, and must handle normal goods, refrigerated goods, dangerous goods, and high-value goods at the same time.
Where do investors often get stuck?
Airside and landside subdivisions, screening points, access control - one wrong flow means you have to redo the whole area.
The amount of goods is accumulated according to take-off and landing times, not divided equally throughout the day. Capacity must be calculated for peak hours, not average.
Refrigerated goods, dangerous goods, high-value goods, live animals... each type needs its own area, its own conditions and must still be in one line.
Airports, customs, airlines, ground service units — the design must be approved by many parties, extending the appraisal time.
Specific design constraints
- Clearance height and column grid for ULD shelving system (ETV)
- Large load-bearing floor, flat floor for lifting equipment
- Truck door on the ground side and dolly door on the flight deck side
- Screening area, customs inspection area, cold storage in the station
- Install and monitor cargo handling equipment

Frequently asked questions
How is an open-air warehouse different from a cargo terminal?
The extended airport warehouse is located outside the airport area but serves part of the function of a cargo terminal under customs supervision, so the airport security design should be lighter but still must meet the requirements of monitoring and connecting transport to the airport.
