Singapore Airlines extends cargo handling partnership with WFS

Singapore Airlines has awarded a three-year cargo handling contract extension to Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS Group member, for operations in Belgium, France, and the UK. ""As part of SATS Group, WFS is now able to offer an end-to-end cargo handling solution on these routes, which leverages the uniqueness of our partnership and ownership,"" commented WFS CEO, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia John Batten. In addition to renewing its cargo handling and domestic road feeder services in the UK, Singapore's national carrier is also partnering with WFS for cargo handling at London Gatwick Airport in anticipation for the launch of five direct flights a week connecting to Singapore Changi Airport, serviced by A350-900s, in June. The contract will mark over 40 years of WFS' partnership with Singapore Airlines in France, having been established in 1986 at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Singapore Airlines is also renewing its commitment to WFS in Brussels, where the two companies have worked together since 2021.
