Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS subsidiary, has secured a five-year cargo handling contract with Emirates SkyCargo at Frankfurt Airport in Germany.<\/p>\n

This agreement enhances the existing partnership between WFS and Emirates, expanding their collaboration to 21 locations within the airline\u2019s global operations.<\/p>\n

Frankfurt Airport plays a vital role in Emirates\u2019 European operations, with the airline\u2019s freight division capable of managing over 1,400t of cargo weekly.<\/p>\n

Emirates SkyCargo operations worldwide senior vice president Robert Fordree said: \u201cWith six scheduled freighters and 21 passenger flights per week, Frankfurt is an anchor of our European network.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one of the world\u2019s most important financial hubs, we move significant volume in and out the market, including specialist products such as pharmaceuticals, automobiles and machinery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contract outlines the continued collaboration between the two companies in important international markets and emphasises WFS\u2019s role in supporting Emirates\u2019 logistics with secure and efficient cargo handling services.<\/p>\n

It is said to strengthen WFS\u2019s role in the European air cargo sector and highlights its commitment to providing specialised handling solutions for major global airlines.<\/p>\n

WFS Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA) gateway services CEO John Batten said: \u201cAt Frankfurt Airport, our team is focused on implementing the operational excellence and specialised handling capabilities that Emirates requires.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur significant investment in pharmaceutical handling capabilities at Frankfurt, combined with our proven expertise in managing time-sensitive cargo, positions us to deliver the efficient, secure, and reliable services that Emirates and their customers expect at this important European hub.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February this year, WFS enhanced its presence at Amsterdam\u2019s Schiphol Airport<\/a> by acquiring Menzies World Cargo Amsterdam, a segment of Menzies Aviation\u2019s General Cargo Handling Operations.<\/p>\n

This acquisition increases WFS\u2019s warehouse capacity to over 50,000m\u00b2 at the Netherlands\u2019 main international airport.<\/p>\n
