OREANDA-NEWS. Bertholt Leeftink, director - general Enterprise and Innovation of the ministery of Economic Affairs and Kajsa Ollongren, alderman of the municipality of Amsterdam, officially launched the sorter today with help of Marcel de Nooijer, EVP KLM Cargo, and Pieter Elbers, KLM president and CEO.
Air France and KLM are the world’s first airlines to make use of this kind of sorting system. In Paris, the system has already been a great success since its launch in April 2015. KLM opted for a same kind of system, but had to make various innovative adjustments owing to a lack of space.
To make space for a new pier at Schiphol, one of KLM Cargo’s three warehouses had to be partly demolished. The main challenge in building the sorting system lay in accommodating existing cargo processes in 50% of the floor space.
