SriLankan Cargo opens New Air-Conditioned Storage Facility at BIA

SriLankan Cargo recently opened a new Air-Conditioned Storage area, adding on to its wide range of facilities at Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport.

The new facility at the BIA Cargo Centre has a temperature range of 15-25 degrees Celsius, and is ideal for temperature-sensitive items that should not be placed in traditional cold rooms where the temperature is below freezing.

Janaka Munasinghe, Manager Cargo Operations, said, “The new facility has enhanced our capabilities in handling sensitive cargo. It has already proven to be popular among our customers. We have a high level of demand for handling of sensitive items such as pharmaceuticals, which need to be stored at a particular temperature.”

The BIA Cargo Centre already has facilities such as Freezer Rooms (0 to minus 30 Celsius), and Cool Rooms (0 to +10 Celsius).

Customers with perishable or temperature-sensitive items of cargo are advised to instruct their agent or supplier at the point of origin to indicate the required storage temperature range in the Airway Bill.

SriLankan Cargo handles the full range of cargo, including general cargo, express cargo, courier items, dangerous goods, live animals, perishables, valuables, and vulnerable items.
