DHL Aviation has signed a new multi-year contract with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the SATS Group, to manage freight at its airport stations in France.
The renewed partnership extends the two companies’ 14-year relationship in France, and demonstrates DHL's continued confidence in WFS, says a release from WFS. DHL signed its first freight handling contract with WFS in Paris in 2010.
The DHL CDG hub plays a key role in DHL's air logistics strategy, the release added. "Equipped with modern facilities and a next-generation shipment sorter, it guarantees the continuous and rapid handling of packages. Currently, the CDG HUB provides strategic air links with other DHL hub locations within and outside Europe such as Leipzig and Brussels airports as well as Casablanca, Morocco."
WFS also manages onboard truck freight services for the CDG hub from Leipzig and Brussels as well as freight reception points for DHL Aviation throughout France including Orly, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Basel-Mulhouse and Nice.
Laurent Bernard, VP, Cargo, France WFS says: “DHL is a significant customer of WFS in Paris and across our network in France. We have a strong partnership and this extension to our warehouse contract clearly shows our service performance satisfies DHL’s high standards. Maintaining this contract is very important to our business in France and helps to demonstrate WFS’ capabilities to DHL for wider partnership growth across our global network in the future.”
