The cargo terminal of Seychelles International Airport is the primary logistical hub for the island nation's foreign trade. Located in immediate proximity to the runway at Pointe Larue on Mahé, it facilitates the efficient handling of import and export goods. The terminal specializes in managing perishable items, such as fresh fish, which is one of the Seychelles' most significant export commodities. Modern cold storage units and security facilities ensure that goods are stored under optimal conditions and prepared for international shipment. In addition to foodstuffs, the terminal processes medical supplies, electronics, and high-value consumer goods. The facility is continuously being expanded to meet the increasing demands of e-commerce and global supply chains. Collaboration between the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority and international logistics companies optimizes transit times for air freight traffic.
