Swiss WorldCargo and FIEGE partner to enhance mail handling in Zurich
The partnership aims to improve service efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in mail logistics.;
Swiss WorldCargo and FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics have entered a partnership in Zurich to enhance mail handling operations. The collaboration was officially launched on 3 March 2025 with the inauguration of a new mail handling facility at Zurich Airport, operated by FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics.
The partnership aims to improve service efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in mail logistics. The facility will operate daily from 05:00 to 21:00 CET, processing import mail throughout these hours. Additionally, the newly arranged set-up and latest collaboration will not only ensure shorter transit times with a minimum connection time of six hours, but will also guarantee same-day connections for mail shipments arriving in Zurich on flights landing before 17:00 CET; these shipments can reach their final destination in Europe - or connect to late evening international flights - within the same day.
Swiss WorldCargo stated that the partnership aligns with its strategy to improve its SWISS Mail product. Alain Chisari, Head of Swiss WorldCargo, said, “Collaborating with reliable and innovative partners is one way to make progress possible. We are very enthusiastic to be partnering with FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics to further enhance our mail handling procedures. By combining our strengths, we are not only developing our services further but also creating new opportunities to deliver greater value to our customers.”
FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics emphasised its expertise in automation and digitalisation as key factors in the collaboration. Benjamin Looser, Managing Director at FIEGE Air Cargo Logistics, said, “We are very grateful for the trust Swiss WorldCargo has placed in us and look forward to taking the next step in our expansion strategy with this new partnership. With our expertise in air cargo handling, automation and digitalisation, we will jointly develop airmail handling in Zurich and create added value for Swiss WorldCargo's customers.”
