LOGISTICS & DISTRIBUTION
Duncan notes.“ A lot of the large perishable agents like to know that additional facility is there to allow inspections to take place.”
Supply chain resilience through strategic placement The expanded Heathrow hub contributes significantly to supply chain resilience, especially for time-sensitive items like perishables and pharmaceuticals.
In particular, its strategic placement and capabilities make it ideal for supporting wide-body operators.
Duncan explains the advantage:“ With the airside accessibility we have, plus airside trucking services at Heathrow, we’ re able to support those wide-body operators that are operating into and through the airport with a pretty seamless transition from airside trucking to the facilities.”
This positioning is particularly important for various cargo flows.
