The Houston Airport System (HAS) and Trammell Crow Company announce that Tradewinds Cargo Handling, owned by New Jersey-based Group One Investments, LLC, signed a lease to operate a cold-storage air cargo facility at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

This new addition to IAH makes Houston one of the leading cities to offer a cold-storage air cargo facility in the central United States.

In November, Tradewinds Cargo Handling will accept perishable imports flown into Houston from international markets and will distribute throughout the U.S.

Trammell Crow Company developed the 61,484 square-foot facility with the intent of establishing Houston as a major gateway for temperature and time-sensitive air cargo.

Tradewinds Cargo Handling will offer a broad range of import and export value-added services, some of which include:

· Pre-cooling imports

· Sorting imports

· Re-labeling imports prior to shipment to distribution centers or retail outlets

· Certified cargo screening for airlines, freight forwarders, consolidators and commercial shippers

· Transshipment by air and ground transportation
