Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the SATS Group, has commenced a new three-year cargo handling contract with Swiss WorldCargo at Milan Malpensa Airport in Italy.
WFS expects to handle annually 2,000 tonnes of cargo in Milan Malpensa for the airfreight division of SWISS, which serves the Italian city with 28 weekly flights using narrow-body Airbus A320/321 and Embraer aircraft. Additionally, Swiss WorldCargo’s customers will continue to benefit from road feeder services connecting Milan and the Swiss city of Zurich six days a week.
Swiss WorldCargo has been a longstanding customer of WFS across its global network. At present, WFS provides cargo handling services for the airline’s airfreight division at key airport stations in North and South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. Its decision to appoint WFS as its air cargo ground handling partner in Milan Malpensa was based on WFS’ modern cargo handling facilities, the size of its operation, and its ability to provide dedicated solutions for Swiss WorldCargo’s specialized high-value, care-intensive and temperature-sensitive shipments.
