Signing lease with Fraport AG for 7,600 sqm cargo facility
Supports customers' future needs and trade volume growth with greater connectivity and faster turnaround times
Kuehne+Nagel has signed a lease agreement with Fraport AG for a new 7,600 sqm air cargo facility in CargoCity South at Frankfurt Airport. Developed by Fraport AG, the facility marks a strategic investment in Kuehne+Nagel's global air logistics network with the aim to strengthen air cargo connectivity across key international trade lanes. Completion and handover are set for the end of 2028.
Frankfurt Airport is a major global cargo hub. The facility provides airside access within the secure airport zone. It supports efficient cargo movements between the terminal and aircraft parking areas, reduces aircraft turnaround time for handling, and enables seamless transfers across Kuehne+Nagel's operations.
The layout features 16 gates and truck docks for efficient, scalable operations. It aims to improve logistics efficiency and boost flexibility to meet evolving customer and market needs.
Additionally, the facility design aligns with Kuehne+Nagel's sustainability commitments. It has been awarded a German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) gold standard certification, guaranteeing it will meet strict environmental standards. Besides LED lighting, heat pumps, EV charging stations, and smart metering, a large photovoltaic system will also be installed on the roof to generate renewable energy for the airport grid.
With the new facility, Kuehne+Nagel will grow its total footprint in CargoCity South to over 20,000 sqm, confirming the company's long-term commitment to Frankfurt Airport as a key global air cargo gateway.
"Frankfurt is a key global gateway in the Kuehne+Nagel air logistics network. As supply chains become more dynamic, our new cargo facility provides the infrastructure, capacity, and connectivity needed to support our growth ambitions and keep goods moving. This enables us to better serve customers in fast-growing sectors like healthcare, semiconductor, high tech, and cloud infrastructure," says Martin Schaefer, SVP Air Logistics Germany at Kuehne+Nagel.
