In view of the fact that TIA was emerging as a main import/export
interface for the international trade, a study was conducted
by Asian Development Bank in 1995. The study resulted in the
preparation of a TIA Master Plan for the year 2000, 2005 and
2015. In respect of the existing cargo building, the major
problem addressed and taken into account during the formulation
of the master plan was the 'scattered and inadequate cargo
facilities at three different locations'. Total floor area
covered by these three facilities stood only at 3500 sq. meters.
Therefore, in view of problems with cargo safety, cargo building
capacity and cargo handling management, the construction of
a centralized Air Cargo Complex was inevitable. Brought in
operation since 2058/9/2, Air Cargo Complex is featured as
follows:
| Ground level |
7700 square meters |
| Second level |
2500 square meters |
| Total |
10200 square
meters |
| Full Design Capacity |
24000 ton for Export |
| |
12000 ton for
Import |
| Building constructed under Phase
1 |
16000 ton for Export |
| |
10000 ton for
Import |
| |
| Capacity Improvement
Scenario: |
| The phase 1 building
is expected to cater to handling demand for about 10 years
from now. |
| Facilitation: |
Weighing scale and Racking
System;
Fork lift;
Fire alarm system for equipment security;
Telephone, electricity and car parking;
1.2 km double lane access road. |
