DHL Air has flown into Air Cargo Centre, located off Beverley Road, within the East Midlands Airport campus.
Following the success earlier last year where Unit 438 was let to an established airport user, FHP Property Consultants have let 419 Air Cargo Centre to DHL Air for a period of approximately 5 years to bolster their existing operations at East Midlands Airport.
Air Cargo Centre comprises 23 industrial/warehouse units with a total floor area of some 200,000ft2. Units range in size from 3,000ft2 to 25,000ft2 and benefit from dedicated car parking and loading to the front.
Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants says: “Air Cargo Centre is a very popular estate due to its proximity to East Midlands Airport. The estate generally appeals to businesses that have a direct connection with the airport.
“On this occasion we have been able to line up a new tenant prior to the expiry of the existing lease eliminating a void period for our client. A truly great result for all involved.”
Peter Molloy, Regional Commercial Manager for DHL, says: “East Midlands Airport is home to the UK’s largest dedicated cargo operation, and DHL already occupy some 500,000ft² across the airport. The new unit at Air Cargo Centre will be predominantly used for repairs and maintenance, keeping this separate to our parcel hub.”
