Swissport Cargo Services Austria has been awarded TAPA FSR-C certification for its air cargo logistics handling operations at Vienna International Airport.
The ground handler received TAPA FSR-C certification from Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) EMEA. This certification reinforces Swissport’s ability to handle high-value and theft-sensitive goods.
Andreas Ottendorf, station manager for Vienna and Graz, stated: “The TAPA certification not only validates Swissport Cargo Services GmbH’s adherence to industry-leading security protocols but also solidifies its position as a premier provider of freight services in Austria.”
Looking ahead, Swissport Cargo Services Austria said it is committed to further enhancing its security protocols. Plans are already underway to put in place TAPA FSR-A certification for the whole of Swissport’s facility within the Fischamend cargo complex, close to Vienna Airport.
Swissport inaugurated its 8,000 sq m air cargo warehouse in Fischamend in 2021. The facility is connected with Swissport’s on-airport cargo centre at Vienna International Airport by a dedicated electric truck.
This allowed Swissport to further expand its cargo activities and to grow its freight forwarder handling business. In 2024, 120,000 tons are expected to be handled in Vienna.
