Logistics Operations

Pan-European strategy to consolidate a fragmented market through discounted acquisitions.

Favorable Supply and Demand Dynamics

Airports generally reserve land for
passenger facilities, constraining air cargo development,especially in the case of landlocked airports.
High demand allows for the collection of premium rents sufficient to offset the limited life of concessions.

Historical Under-investment

Key airports require
expansions, modernization, and/ or mechanization.
Increased cargo volumes
drive airport fees. allowing attractive concession terms.

Multiple Value Levers

Technology improvements to tenants' operations drive a variable part of the rent.
Concession extensions can be negotiated in exchange for the development and management of complex facilities.

Operational Specificities

Air cargo handler has the security
clearance to operate within the perimeter of an airport.
Customs agencies are key partners in the clearance process.

Fragmented Market

Few private developers in Europe, and no dominant players.
Competition for gateway airports means interesting opportunities at 2nd tier airports.
