WFS wins five new US contracts

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has signed contracts with five global airlines to provide passenger, ramp and cargo handling services in the US.

Of the new contracts, one includes the provision of cargo handling services. WOW Air has chosen WFS for a three-year contract to provide ramp, passenger and cargo services for its three Airbus A330-300 flights each week from Dallas/Fort Worth to Keflavik International airport, extending WFS’ existing services for the airline at Newark and New York JFK.

On June 1, SN Brussels will become the latest member of the Lufthansa Group to commence a handling contract with WFS in New York, where WFS will manage passenger services for the airline’s three flights a week to Brussels. June will also see the start of a new three-year ramp handling contract with Emirates in Los Angeles, supporting its daily Airbus A380 operations to Dubai.

Also in Los Angeles, WFS will begin a three-year contract providing ramp services for EVA Air’s 21 Boeing 777-300 flights a week to Taiwan, effective August 1.

In Chicago, WFS has also been awarded a three-year passenger services contract by Ethiopian Airlines to serve customers travelling on its three Boeing 787-800 flights each week to Addis Ababa.
