Anchorage air cargo depot signs tenants Atlas and Polar

ALASKA CargoPort has gained three new tenants of DHL Express (USA), Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWH) and Polar Air Cargo Worldwide to fill the gap created by Delta Airlines (Northwest) Cargo exit from the facility last year.


Atlas, a long time tenant at the facility based at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, relocated within the project to expand its operations with Polar and DHL.


"With Atlas and Polar in the same building, we will be able to consolidate operations, enhance our efficiency, and provide greater service and value to our customers who serve the transpacific trade lanes between Asia and North America," said AAWH vice president and chief operations officer John Dietrich, whose company owns both carriers.


"In addition to a home for our maintenance staff and offices for our flight operations, we'll also be able to capitalise on CargoPort's ample airside cargo warehouse space - a significant benefit when turning aircraft around quickly," he said.
