Project description |
Cairo Airport Company (CAC), the Airport Authority of Cairo International Airport, intended to develop an extension of the existing cargo area of Cairo International Airport in 2007, in order to meet the future growth of air cargo in Egypt. The overall cargo area will be renamed as Cargo City Cairo (CCC) and is intended for use by most of the foreign airlines and forwarding companies operating out of Cairo. Forming a consortium with Hamza Associates, Egyptian consulting engineers, Lufthansa Consulting worked on the design of infrastructure and facilities for the new Cargo City Cairo. In cooperation with Hamza, Lufthansa Consulting then designed a fully mechanized cargo terminal with a capacity of 320,000 tons/year for CAC’s future air cargo handling operation. |
