Asset Alliance supplies WFS with 29 trailers

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has taken delivery of 29 SDC rollerbed trailers provided by Asset Alliance Group.

The new arrivals are being supplied on a five-year contract hire agreement as part of a fleet renewal programme and will be based at London Heathrow Airport.

The trailers are being paired with Renault tractor units and will be used for road feeder services throughout the UK.

They join WFS’s mixed commercial fleet, which includes 45 trucks and 48 trailers.

Phil Huntington, UK Transport Manager at WFS, says, “SDC trailers are robust and reliable and exactly what we need to support our growing transport operation in the UK and Ireland. We now have a presence at every UK airport and run nightly road transport services as far south as Gatwick Airport and as far north as Aberdeen to provide the widest possible distribution network for our customers.”

WFS has 7 facilities at Heathrow Airport where it handles more than 350,000 tonnes a year for 14 airlines and manages 17,500 flights a year.

Last year, WFS increased cargo handling capacity with an additional warehouse to manage new airline contracts and increased volumes.
