Logistics Operations
Pan-European strategy to consolidate a fragmented market through discounted acquisitions.
Favorable Supply and Demand Dynamics
-
Airports generally reserve land for
passenger facilities, constraining air cargo development,especially in the case of landlocked airports. -
High demand allows for the collection of premium rents sufficient to offset the limited life of concessions.
Historical Under-investment
-
Key airports require
expansions, modernization, and/ or mechanization. -
Increased cargo volumes
drive airport fees. allowing attractive concession terms.
Multiple Value Levers
-
Technology improvements to tenants' operations drive a variable part of the rent.
-
Concession extensions can be negotiated in exchange for the development and management of complex facilities.
Operational Specificities
-
Air cargo handler has the security
clearance to operate within the perimeter of an airport. -
Customs agencies are key partners in the clearance process.
Fragmented Market
-
Few private developers in Europe, and no dominant players.
-
Competition for gateway airports means interesting opportunities at 2nd tier airports.
