Designed to deliver fast, reliable, and scalable cargo handling operations, the terminal will enhance the efficiency of cargo movement through the airport and strengthen SFO’s ability to serve airlines, freight forwarders, and logistics partners. The facility is scheduled for completion in Spring 2028 and with operations expected to commence later that year.

“This investment reflects SFO’s commitment to providing modern, efficient cargo facilities that support our airline partners and the regional economy,” says Samuel Chui, Project Manager at San Francisco International Airport.

“The cutting-edge cargo terminal positions SFO at the forefront of West Coast air cargo logistics,” states Jonathan Hardy, Managing Director North America at Lödige Industries. “Our automated systems are engineered for maximum efficiency and scalability, enabling SFO to handle growing cargo volumes while fully leveraging advanced automation and digital connectivity.”

At the core of the 310,000-square-foot, two-story terminal are three Elevating Transfer Vehicles (ETVs), delivering fast, reliable, fully automated storage and retrieval of Unit Load Devices (ULDs). Operating on a rail-guided system, the ETVs can move ULDs vertically and horizontally simultaneously, boosting operational speed and flexibility. This automated equipment is designed to streamline workflows, increase throughput, and significantly reduce turnaround times at the airport.

Hardy adds: “Growing e-commerce and global trade are driving an increase in air cargo volumes, prompting key U.S. cargo hubs to expand and modernize. Lödige Industries is dedicated to serve as a reliable strategic partner, supporting airports as they navigate an evolving industry landscape. The project at SFO marks another important milestone in our commitment to innovation in North America’s air cargo industry, building on current projects at New York John F. Kennedy and Toronto Pearson International Airport.”
