On 03MAR25, SWISS’ cargo arm, Swiss WorldCargo and handling partner, FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics celebrated the official opening (complete with ribbon-cutting ceremony pictured above), of a new mail handling facility at Zurich Airport. The two companies have entered into partnership in order to vastly improve mail handling in Zurich. While Swiss WorldCargo is responsible for reliably flying the mail in and out as its experience in time-critical shipments has shown, FIEGE ensures that all ground handling of the commodity is carried out smoothly and quickly as possible. The press release emphasizes that the two partners are committed to providing “efficient, trustworthy, and flexible services” to their customers. With the redesigned mail handling facility and a strong partner at its side, “Swiss WorldCargo is boosting the quality and reliability of its SWISS Mail product across multiple key aspects”, it underlines.
Optimized workflows thanks to the new partnership, result in three main benefits for Swiss mail customers, starting with extended service hours. The facility now operates daily from 05.00 to 21:00 CET, enabling uninterrupted processing of incoming mail throughout that time. Secondly, SwissWorld Cargo offers a faster transit with its six-hour minimum connection time, and thirdly, same-day delivery to European destinations or international flight connections is possible for all shipments arriving in Zurich before 17:00 CET.
Alain Chisari, Head of Swiss WorldCargo, explained: “Collaborating with reliable and innovative partners is one way to make progress possible. We are very enthusiastic to be partnering with FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics to further enhance our mail handling procedures. By combining our strengths, we are not only developing our services further but also creating new opportunities to deliver greater value to our customers.”
Benjamin Looser, Managing Director at FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics, said: “We are very grateful for the trust Swiss WorldCargo has placed in us and look forward to taking the next step in our expansion strategy with this new partnership. With our expertise in air cargo handling, automation and digitalization, we will jointly develop airmail handling in Zurich and create added value for Swiss WorldCargo’s customers.”
