The Airport Operator Participates in the Logistics and Multimodal Business Fair Since 2018
Zurich Airport Brasil, the concessionaire of Floripa Airport, or Hercílio Luz International Airport, in Florianópolis, confirmed its participation in the 2023 edition of Logistique – Logistics Fair, Multimodal Cargo Transport, International Trade, Technology, and Intralogistics. The airport has been in constant growth since 2018, when the Swiss operator took over its management. In 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, it reports a growth in imported cargo of about 36%.
“Since we took over the concession, Florianópolis Airport has participated in Logistique. We understand that the fair, in addition to being an important space for business prospecting, is also an environment where we can learn about innovations and understand the logistics market even better,” highlights the CEO of Zurich Airport Brasil, Ricardo Gesse. For the operator, the fair, considered today one of the largest and most important in the logistics sector in Brazil, represents an event with relevant players in the national scenario, a place for rich exchanges of experience and very qualified networking.
