Carousel opens Birmingham airside hub

[ February 18, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

Urgent freight specialist Carousel Logistics has opened a new airside facility at Birmingham Airport to consolidate its cargo handling operations.

The hub triples Carousel’s previous handling capability and is projected to reduce up to 50,000 miles of road transport per year.

Cargo unloaded at Birmingham Airport was previously sent to Carousel’s site in Coventry before making its onward journey. The new facility removes this unnecessary step, with goods now sorted and shipped directly from the airport to their final destination.

UK managing director, Andrew Lowery, said: “Our new facility at Birmingham Airport will allow us to handle even greater volumes of cargo within the same tight time window. Strategically located near the M42 and M6 motorways, Birmingham International station, new HS2 links, and our electric rail freight partner Varamis Rail, this investment will dramatically improve line haul times and cut carbon emissions.”
