Links to local ground transportation are essential in the positive development of economic areas. Its central position in the west of Austria makes Innsbruck Airport of pivotal importance in connection with air freight for the Tyrol, Vorarlberg, northern Italy and south Germany. As a regional airport with excellent flight connections, Innsbruck is the ideal starting point and destination for your air cargo. This is not handled via the take-off and landing runways alone, however. In order to satisfy demands the major airlines operate substitute ground transportation from and to Innsbruck. The lorries are motorway aircraft, as it were, and can be loaded with container units as in a wide-bodied aircraft. Transit traffic is thus reduced. It is not necessary for every single forwarding agent to drive to the big transit airports in his own lorry now that air cargo can be delivered straight to Innsbruck Airport.

In order to deal with the increasing amount of air tonnage in both export and import a new air freight terminal was opened in 1994 at Innsbruck Airport. At the same time the ILUG took over cargo handling as a neutral partner for everyone. As well as loading the freight on the aircraft of domestic airlines, the ILUG specialists also transfer cargo to aircraft loading containers and thus to alternative ground transportation. With state-of-the-art handling equipment and efficient staff, the ILUG constructs throughput containers which are then reloaded straight on to wide-bodied aircraft at transit airports such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Zurich. Reloading times are thus cut down and the risk of loss or damage is minimized. In the air freight business time is money. That is why Innsbruck constitutes the ideal handling airport. The personal initiative and great care shown by the ILUG staff ensures speediest, but careful handling of your air cargo. Modern EDP systems provide a reliable backup here. Special training means that the staff are always familiar with airline demands and that special cargo, too, is properly loaded.
