Alliance Air handles Japan Airlines and EVA Imports in a second on-airport facility, Cargo Building 516. The same high quality equipment and customized services are used in building 516, which is about 111,000 s.f.

Main deck workstations are used for maximum pallet (height) build up. These workstations provide a safe platform from which our agents can load pallets and maximize their utilization. Each of the workstations has an oversized, reinforced opening and is equipped with a Web-Stiles scissor lift. Alliance Air invested over $253,800 in these workstations in order to facilitate build-up procedures.

All freight is built directly on slave pallets, transferred to one of our two roller systems, and then onto our roller bed trucks. Aircraft pallets never touch the floor. Alliance Air provides dedicated doors for export receiving. Shipper built pallets are received by way of two mechanized edge-of-dock door lifts. Shipper built ULDs are received, reweighed and staged directly onto our 47-position roller system.

This system has 20-foot pallet capabilities and allows direct interface with our 53-foot, four position airport transfer trucks. Twenty-foot pallets and oversized freight are loaded directly onto the loader to reduce the cumbersome task of handling or loading 20-foot dollies. This provides a better, safer operation. This building was designed specifically to allow flexibility and cross utilization of systems and space. This allows adjustments in client space demands or shifts in import and export tonnages.
