A dedicated area for cargo preparation is essential for a transport and logistics solution such as the SAC. Today, a temporary building serves this purpose lacking many complex solutions standard in sophisticated military aerial port operations.

SAC Member Nations jointly fund building a permanent, modern facility to enhance SAC capabilities and transport process flow. NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) is the contracting entity, and NSPA's Airlift Management Programme manages the more than 10-million-euro project, which started with today's groundbreaking. STRABAG, the company responsible for construction, will hand the new facility over to the SAC at the beginning of 2024.
