The new 3-year contract will see WFS handling 32,000 tonnes of cargo per annum, serving up to 9 flights a week from Yantai Penglai International Airport in Shandong Province.
WFS will provide warehouse operations and ramp handling for the B777F flights at the Belgian airport.
WFS also supports China Eastern’s cargo operations at other important airports including Paris Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt, Stockholm and New York’s John F. Kennedy airport.
Nathan De Valck, Managing Director of WFS Belgium, says, “Liege is a very important and growing cargo hub for WFS in Europe, so it is especially pleasing to welcome another long-term WFS partner as a customer at the airport. We see this as a sign of China Eastern’s trust in WFS and our high reputation for handling freighters and cargo-only services. This new route for the airline also shows the resilience of the Liege freighter market and the role WFS is playing in the development of it.”
