The Government delegate in Andalucía, Carmen Crespo, presented the Marketing Plan for Almeria's Airport, which has set as one of its goals to find a cargo operator that can help boost the shipment of horticultural products.
According to Crespo, there are plans to use Almeria's airport to take horticultural products to new markets.
Pedro Bendala, director of Group II of Aena Airports, announced that "negotiations are underway to reach a cargo return agreement with the Arab market, which would facilitate the opening of new marketing channels for Almeria's horticultural products at profitable prices."
In this regard, the government delegate assured that the airport tax exemption proposed by the Spanish Government "will generate wealth in the province of Almería" and explained that the companies opening "new commercial and cargo routes will make great profits, which will result in more opportunities for international business for Almeria's horticultural sector."
Crespo also recalled that Aena is considering the granting of bonuses of up to one hundred percent for new export routes. "These bonuses would have a very positive impact on Almeria's airport, which is expanding and looking for export markets for fruits and vegetables," he affirmed.
