Accra’s Kotoka International Airport will soon have a dedicated perishables air cargo terminal, mainly for the export of pineapple, mangoes, papaya, and vegetables.

The terminal, financed by the Millennium Development Authority, will include cold store equipment, truck docks at landside, weighing systems, lowering ULD workstations, ULD storage systems for different temperature zones – each with an array of roller decks and castor decks, and dolly docks at airside. The equipment supplied by SACO is set to be commissioned in Autumn 2011.
