A group of students of Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Auburn University got a chance to be a part of an exclusive air cargo familiarisation tour at Atlanta Airport on March 25.
The 7.5-hour event was jointly planned by Auburn UniversityJAS Worldwide, Swissport, and Qatar Airways Cargo. The tour kicked off with lunch at the JAS WW Campus Sandy Springs, a meet-and-greet session with JAS and Qatar Airways Cargo management, and presentations by the company, before transferring the students to Atlanta Airport.
Following the airport’s introductory presentation, the students were given a tour of the Swissport warehouse and then taken airside to witness the arrival of Qatar Airways Cargo flight QR8141 from Doha, Qatar, and its subsequent offloading and reloading. In smaller groups of five, the students took turns in visiting the main deck, observing the main deck high loader in operation, and learning how the Swissport warehouse operates from cargo build-up to breakdown, as well as flight planning and preparation. Refreshments in the Swissport warehouse rounded off the educational and informative familiarisation tour.
