Kazunari Yoshida, President and Managing Director of Swissport Japan, said: “We believe demand for international air cargo will continue to grow.”
He continued: “As a member of Japan’s logistics industry, we are eager to contribute to the development of the Tokai region, one of Japan’s three major economic zones, with our operations at Centrair.”
