Infrastructure investment company Ventus and Sky Logistica have acquired Prague-based air cargo infrastructure company Skyport.
Skyport is claimed to be the leading cargo handler at Prague Airport (PRG) in the Czech Republic. Besides, it has a presence in Bratislava and Kosice in Slovakia.
It operates in a semi-automated airside cargo handling facility, which was purchased by the Singapore-based Elite Logistics Fund in connection with the Skyport takeover.
The company is claimed to process more than half of all air cargo passing through Prague airport.
Ventus CEO Andy Popovich stated: “The last twelve months have proved the importance of air cargo infrastructure as a strategic component of global trade.
“Investing in automated facilities and modern operations is the future of this industry and we are excited to work with our institutional capital partners to further invest in this asset class.

The accreditation certificate confirms that the set processes, measures and individual steps applied at Prague Airport meet the requirements and recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Airports Council International (ACI).
