Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the SATS Group, has extended its partnership with American Airlines in Europe with a new cargo handling contract in Copenhagen to support the launch of daily Boeing 787 flights to Philadelphia.
WFS is already handling American Airlines’ cargo in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK.
At the end of 2022, WFS opened its third new cargo terminal at Copenhagen airport, adding a further 3,700 square metres of capacity. Copenhagen is also one of more than 25 global airports in WFS’ network with a dedicated GDP-certified pharmaceutical handling facility to support customers in Medicon Valley in Greater Copenhagen.
The direct flights from Copenhagen will also give American Airlines’ customers in Sweden fasterconnections with the US.
