American Airlines Cargo tours customers<br />
to new facility in Milan<br />
FORT WORTH, Texas: American<br />
Airlines Cargo customers from<br />
across Italy visited this month the<br />
airline's new operational facility at<br />
Milan's Malpensa Airport (MXP)<br />
designed to serve the growing<br />
demand for air flown goods from the<br />
country to the US.<br />
Growing cargo volumes from the<br />
northern Italian city have increased<br />
customer demand for direct services<br />
out of Italy to the United States. The<br />
new 53,000-plus square-foot (5,000<br />
square meters) building handles the<br />
airline's daily flights to its New York<br />
(JFK) and Miami (MIA) hubs.<br />
Some of the most frequently<br />
shipped goods from Milan include<br />
automotive parts, fashion and<br />
pharmaceuticals. On its opening day,<br />

Regional Cargo Sales Manager,<br />
Richard Hartmann, and his team for a<br />
tour of the new building, located just<br />
steps from the old location on<br />
airport property.<br />
“It's a real testament to the<br />
strength of our brand in Italy that<br />
customers from as far away as<br />

out of their busy schedules to come<br />
and see what additional space and<br />
opportunities the new warehouse<br />
can offer them," said Hartmann.<br />

tour of the facility, operated by WFS,<br />
