WFS and Swiss WorldCargo sign Malpensa cargo handling contract

Swiss WorldCargo and Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) have signed a three-year cargo handling contract at Milan Malpensa Airport.

WFS expects to handle around 2,000 tonnes of cargo a year for Swiss WorldCargo at Malpensa, which it serves with 28 narrowbody flights a week using Airbus A320/321s and Embraer aircraft.

Customers will also benefit from road feeder services connecting Milan and Zurich six times a week.

Massimiliano Introini, Managing Director Italy at WFS, says, “We are proud that Swiss WorldCargo has extended its air cargo ground handling partnership with WFS to Milan Malpensa. The quality of Swiss WorldCargo’s products and services is highly respected across the industry, and we value the airfreight division’s confidence in our ability to meet these high standards.”

Christian Wyss, Head of Cargo Offering Development & Steering at Swiss International Air Lines, adds, “With a significant number of weekly flights and tonnes of cargo transported between Milan and Zurich, we need an air cargo ground handling partner that knows our business well and can operate to the high-quality standards that we provide our customers globally. WFS can do that.”
