WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES SAY

"For me there is nothing better than working
together with my team, so close to the
airplanes."

Katrin has been working on the ramp for many years as a supervisor. Together with her team, she loads the cargo planes on the apron with the containers that have been prepared in the terminal.

"We love the challenge, seeing the plane off, safely and punctually with thousands of shipments on their journey to the customer".

Every night is different - it is diverse work as well as a unique workplace.
For Katrin, one thing is clear: "Even after so many years, I am still excited to see an airplane come in".

With their work in the terminal, our colleagues ensure that urgent shipments make it to their destination in time.

Ejiro and her colleagues load the containers for the cargo planes. They have great responsibility with the precise loading of the containers. All shipments are urgent or even time sensitive freight. The handling of dangerous goods is also not uncommon. The
shipments are supposed to reach the recipient within the shortest time possible and have to be loaded diligently.

"I enjoy working with my colleagues every night to prepare tons of freight as well as urgent medical shipments, for their journey to the recipient; knowing that a satisfied customer is waiting at the end of the supply chain."

"Being a part of such a large network makes me
proud. We work every day to make our customers happy."

Sebastian works in the customs department - our customs clearance division, which is responsible for processing import, export and transit shipments. All customs-related processes must be implemented as soon as possible to ensure punctual delivery to the
customer - whether it's heavy industrial machinery or small packages from overseas.

Each of our employees can develop personally through an extensive range of training programs. We also offer the opportunity to lateral applicants from completely different professional backgrounds to work in the Customs division. This is exactly what Sebastian appreciates about his job: "Even as a career changer, I have all the entry and advancement opportunities."
