Al Ain Airport expands cold storage to boost cargo handling

Abu Dhabi Airports has expanded cold storage capacity at Al Ain International Airport (AAN) to meet growing demand for temperature-controlled cargo. The upgraded facilities allow the airport to handle and store larger volumes of perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive shipments, supporting smoother cargo operations and stronger supply chains in the region.

The expansion is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen logistics infrastructure and ensure reliable handling of temperature-sensitive products. By increasing storage capacity, AAN can accommodate more shipments simultaneously, reducing delays and improving efficiency for airlines and cargo operators.

This development also supports the continuity of both regional and global supply chains, ensuring essential products move quickly and safely to markets. With the expanded cold storage, businesses can better manage perishable and sensitive goods, maintaining product quality from origin to destination.

Abu Dhabi Airports encourages airlines and cargo operators to submit shipment requests directly to AAN for processing. The upgraded facilities reinforce the airport’s role as a key logistics hub in the UAE, capable of supporting a growing volume of temperature-controlled cargo and contributing to the resilience of the wider supply chain network in the Middle East.
