The new facility will consolidate existing cargo operations, aircraft maintenance, loading docks, support offices, and customer service operations into an integrated facility on the west side of the airport near the end of Elliott Street and Hale Kinai Road.
Upon completion, the new facility will include more than 2,400 square feet of refrigerator capacity and five drive-up docks for shippers.
In addition, the new cargo facility will coordinate logistics efforts with Aloha Air Cargo’s shipping network across all major airports including Lihue, Kauai (LIH), Kahului, Maui (OGG), Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (KOA), and Hilo, Hawaii (ITO).
Aloha Air Cargo, which is expected to move the new facility in the first quarter of 2014, will use the new facility as its primary operational hub.
Currently, Aloha Air Cargo’s aircraft fleet consists of four Boeing 737-200 freighters in an all cargo configuration. Through partnerships with other Hawaii airlines and international carriers, Aloha Air Cargo can arrange shipments from any Hawaii city to any destination worldwide.
The new facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
